The Buffalo Bills are gearing up for their Week 13 showdown against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football following a bye week. In a surprising move, the team made a change at the quarterback position involving Mike White. Typically, quarterback isn’t a concern for the Bills, with Josh Allen consistently performing at an elite level. Allen has been on a hot streak and isn’t listed on the injury report, indicating he’s fully healthy. However, depth is always valuable, and the Bills already have experienced backup Mitch Trubisky on the roster.
On Saturday, Buffalo added White to their active roster, promoting him from the practice squad along with tight end Zach Davidson. According to the team’s PR announcement on X (formerly Twitter), linebacker Matt Milano was also activated from injured reserve, while defensive tackle DeWayne Carter was ruled out with a wrist injury.
While Milano’s return is significant, White’s promotion raised questions among fans, sparking speculation about Allen’s health. It’s likely that White will serve as an emergency third-string quarterback, ensuring additional depth at the position. With a roster spot available, the Bills have room to carry White for the game without compromising other areas.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, Allen is expected to lead the offense in this critical matchup against the 49ers. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. EST on Sunday, December 1.
