Douglas (knee) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.
The Bills are severely banged up at cornerback, having already lost Tre'Davious White to a torn Achilles earlier in the season, and now Christian Benford (knee) is out for Sunday while Douglas and Taron Johnson (concussion) are questionable after a week of limited practice work. Buffalo just keeps dealing with defensive injuries.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Douglas is hoping to return to the field Sunday after missing the Bills' wild-card win over the Steelers due to a knee issue, and he's been able to log back-to-back limited sessions to open the team's week of practice. The 28-year-old has been Buffalo's top cornerback since joining the team in Week 9, so it would be a big loss if he's unable to suit up in the divisional round. Douglas would likely have to practice in full Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Inactive versus Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) is inactive for Monday's wild-card game against the Steelers.
Douglas injured his knee in the Week 18 win over the Dolphins and was unable to practice all week. Since his acquisition from the Packers at the trade deadline, Douglas has been filling in as Buffalo's top cover corner due to Tre'Davious White being done for the season with a torn Achilles suffered back in Week 4. Taron Johnson, Christian Benford and Dane Jackson will soak up the bulk of the cornerback snaps for the Bills in the wild-card round.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Questionable due to knee injury
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Steelers, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Douglas won't practice Friday, continuing a trend of non-participation since he suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of the regular-season finale against the Dolphins. If Douglas is unable to play Sunday, Christian Benford could be slated for a larger role in Buffalo's secondary.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Yet to practice with new team
Rotowire
Douglas, whom the Bills acquired from the Packers on Tuesday, did not practice Wednesday.
The Bills listed their new acquisition with a witty "just got here" label on the injury report, but general manager Brandon Beane said earlier Tuesday that the team was still processing the trade and getting Douglas through his physicals. We'll see if he can ramp up quickly ahead of Sunday's primetime game, as the Bengals are just the type of wideout-gifted opponent the Bills likely had in mind when they acquired Douglas to bolster a secondary that's struggled since losing Tre'Davious White to a season-ending Achilles injury.

Packers' Rasul Douglas: Records first 2023 interception
Rotowire
Douglas tallied four solo tackles, an interception and two pass deflections in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Falcons.
The pick was the fifth Douglas recorded over his last 12 regular-season appearances and his 10th over 31 regular-season games with the Packers. He will continue having ample opportunities to make plays, as he has been on the field for every defensive snap the Packers have logged through two weeks.

Packers' Rasul Douglas: Tallies third interception
Rotowire
Douglas had eight tackles (seven solo) and an interception in Monday's 24-12 victory over the Rams.
Douglas did not record an interception over the first seven weeks of the season, but he has picked up the pace in that department, snagging three errant passes over Green Bay's last seven games. He has been on the field for every defensive snap in five straight games and figures to remain an every-down player the rest of the way.

Packers' Rasul Douglas: Logs sack, interception in loss
Rotowire
Douglas recorded six tackles (six solo), one sack and an interception during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.
Douglas stepped in front of Gabe Davis in the fourth quarter for his first interception of the season, which he lateraled to fellow cornerback Jaire Alexander for a one-yard return. The veteran also logged the first sack of his career as he brought down quarterback Josh Allen at the line of scrimmage late in the first quarter. Douglas has recorded 39 tackles (32 solo) and six passes defended over eight weeks, and he sits behind inside linebackers De'Vondre Campbell and Quay Walker as the Packers' third-leading tackler so far this season.

Packers' Rasul Douglas: Makes major impact in Green Bay
Rotowire
Douglas tallied 57 tackles (52 solo), five interceptions, a forced fumble, 13 pass deflections and two touchdowns over 12 appearances with the Packers in 2021.
Douglas spent the first five weeks of the season on the Cardinals' practice squad, but the Packers subsequently picked him up and watched him make a major impact the rest of the way. After finishing tied for fourth in the league in interceptions and tied for 15th in pass deflections -- all while playing far fewer games than most of those above him -- the 26-year-old is a lock to open next season on some team's roster. Just exactly whose, however, remains to be seen.

Rotowire
Douglas (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Douglas was limited in Friday's session, but he began the week with back-to-back full practices. As long as he gains clearance to suit up against Detroit, Douglas should be on track to draw his usual start at cornerback.

Panthers' Rasul Douglas: Returns from COVID list
Rotowire
The Panthers activated Douglas off the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Douglas can return to team activities and will start preparing for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs. He's started the past five games at cornerback and allowed a 76.8 passer rating and no touchdowns when targeted this season. A matchup versus the Chiefs will be tough, however, and Douglas could see a heavy dose of Tyreek Hill.

Rasul Douglas: Cut loose by Philly
Rotowire
The Eagles waived Douglas on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The 2017 third-round pick started six games for the Eagles last season, and he recorded 35 tackles and 10 pass breakups. However, his coverage wasn't up to par, so the Eagles let him go before his rookie contract expired. Darius Slay, Nickell Robey-Coleman and Avonte Maddox (lower body) are expected to be the top-three corners in Philly moving forward.

Eagles' Rasul Douglas: Restructures contract
Rotowire
Douglas agreed to restructure his contract with the Eagles on Thursday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
The terms of Douglas' restructure remain undisclosed, but it looks likely that the 24-year-old has agreed to a more team-friendly deal in order to increase his chances of making the 53-man roster. Douglas normally plays a reserve role in Philadelphia's secondary, but he made six starts in 2019 due to an abundance of injuries to the team's cornerback group.

Rotowire
Douglas (ankle) returned to Sunday's divisional-round game against the Saints, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Douglas was back on the sideline during the first half, but he didn't retake the field until after halftime. The 23-year-old should resume his usual starting role at cornerback if he can avoid aggravating the ankle issue.

Eagles' Rasul Douglas: Ready to play Sunday
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
With Jalen Mills (foot) and Sidney Jones (hamstring) inactive, Douglas will be the Eagles' top corner and will be tasked with slowing down Giants wideout Odell Beckham. Douglas has 11 tackles over the last two weeks, and he figures to have plenty of opportunities if Beckham receives double-digit targets for the ninth time this year.

Rotowire
Douglas (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Douglas continues to manage a knee sprain suffered during Sunday's loss to the Saints, leaving his status for the Week 12 tilt against the Giants in question. His potential absence this weekend would be costly with the Eagles already listing three other cornerbacks on their injury report.

Eagles' Rasul Douglas: Day-to-day with knee sprain
Rotowire
Douglas suffered a knee sprain in Sunday's loss to the Saints and is considered day-to-day, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Douglas injured his knee in the fourth quarter Sunday, joining the flock of injured Eagles cornerbacks. The injury could sideline him for a bit, but he appears to have avoided a long-term issue. Look for Chandon Sullivan and Cre'Von LeBlanc to see some extra snaps as long as Douglas is limited or sidelined.

Douglas had eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.
Douglas made his first start of the season Sunday with Jalen Mills (foot) and Sidney Jones (hamstring) inactive. Regardless of Mills' and Jones' health going forward, Douglas should be in line for a heavier role moving forward with Ronald Darby now lost for the season with a torn ACL.

Eagles' Rasul Douglas: Picked by Philly
Rotowire
The Eagles selected Douglas in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 99th overall.
Douglas (6-foot-2, 209 pounds) is a huge corner who might lack the athleticism to stick at the position, but should give the Eagles a nice press corner if he can.
