Recently acquired Buffalo Bills cornerback Rasul Douglas did not practice on Wednesday after being traded to the team on Tuesday. And the team’s creative designation for him on their injury report on Wednesday had many fans laughing.
Douglas should provide a big boost to the Bills’ secondary which is in desperate need of help after the season-ending injury to Tre’Davious White earlier this year.
Chances are he will likely play in their Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. But he wasn’t at practice on Wednesday due to just being traded, which the Bills hilariously made a note of on their injury report.
“Just got here,” said the Bills on their injury report.

It’s rare that you ever see a non-injured player on the injury report for any team. And this injury designation for Douglas had many Bills fans laughing on social media.

While this part of the Bills injury report was certainly funny, other parts are no laughing matter for Bills fans. Particularly star quarterback Josh Allen not practicing due to a right shoulder injury.
Allen seemed to aggravate this injury in their Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Thursday night.
There is still plenty of time for Allen to get himself ready ahead of their game on Sunday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals. But if Allen isn’t able to play in the game, the Bills will certainly be in for a rough night…
