It’s good news for the Buffalo Bills as they activate cornerback Kaiir Elam off of injured reserve. Elam, who has been recovering from a torn ankle ligament, is set to provide valuable depth to the team’s defense.
Having designated him for return earlier in the month, the Bills were facing the expiration of Elam’s 21-day practice window. This move indicates that he’s ready to contribute on the field after his recovery.
Despite being limited to three games with two starts this season due to the injury, Elam has already made an impact with 14 total tackles. His return should bolster the team’s defensive capabilities.
As a first-round pick in 2022, Elam showed promise in his rookie season, featuring in 13 games with six starts. His performance included four passes defensed and two interceptions, showcasing his playmaking abilities in the secondary.
The activation of Kaiir Elam is a positive development for the Bills, adding depth to their defense and potentially strengthening their overall performance on the field.
