Head coach Sean McDermott provided little by way of concrete information when asked Monday about White’s status.
“He continues to improve in his rehab and we’ll get him back out there when he’s ready,” McDermott said. “Really, that’s all I have for you.”
It’s possible, although highly unlikely, that White could return to practice as soon as Wednesday and face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Highmark Stadium. Don’t bet on that, though. The much more likely scenario is the Bills return him to practice, then use most of the 21-day window before activating him. That would allow White to get in some valuable practice time as he recovers.
The big question is, when does the team do that? If White were to return to practice this week, for example, he could be ready to return after the team’s bye week for a home game against the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 30.
“I’m sure at some point Sean and (General Manager) Brandon (Beane) and Nate Breske, our athletic trainer, will give me an idea of what the prognosis is as far as his being back on the field and maybe participating in some of the things we’re doing,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said of White. “Until then, we just continue to operate the way we have and see how it all plays out.”
