Xavier Rhodes: Won't play at Baltimore
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) won't play Week 4, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.Some expected Rhodes to be elevated to the active roster immediately after signing with Buffalo's practice squad Wednesday given that Tre'Davious White (knee) and Christian Benford (hand) will both be out and Dane Jackson (neck) is questionable to play too. However, it appears Rhodes will have to wait until at least Week 5 to see game action with an injury of his own. The Bills' secondary is a hospital wing right now, which bodes well for early MVP candidate Lamar Jackson this Sunday.

Xavier Rhodes: Joins Buffalo's practice squad
The Bills signed Xavier Rhodes to the practice squad Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.Rhodes played for the Colts from 2020-21, making 29 starts over two seasons, but he remained a free agent to begin the 2022 campaign. While the veteran signed a practice-squad deal, he's likely going to be promoted to Buffalo's active roster for Week 4. The Bills' top cornerback, Tre'Davious White (knee), started the season on the PUP list, while fellow corners Dane Jackson (neck) and Christian Benford (hand) could be out for a couple weeks. Micah Hyde (neck) is also lost for the season, while the team's other starting safety, Jordan Poyer, is dealing with a foot injury. Given the depleted secondary, it wouldn't be surprising to see Rhodes thrust into a major role right away, even if he isn't fully acclimated to the defensive schemes yet.
