Happened off screen but worrisome as doctor performing Lachman test on #TradaviousWhite left knee which is an on field test for ACL tear. Hope not. No direct video evidence. Just commenting on the exam. Sometimes medical staff will just check to be sure. Let's hope not. https://t.co/8DtcBIusZs

The Buffalo Bills drafted Tre'Davious White in 2017 in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, out of LSU. He has 16 career interceptions, one of those being this season. White also has a forced fumble, 27 solo tackles, 41 combined tackles and one tackle for loss through 11 games this season.
The Buffalo Bills needed that big win over the New Orleans Saints on Thanksgiving after a disappointing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week.
The Bills will now need to prepare for next Monday's game against division rivals, the New England Patriots. And now they will prepare for the game without their lead cornerback in Tre'Davious White, who has become a leader of a tough Bills defense that has brought success the last few seasons.
