The Buffalo Bills have just lost 4 players to the COVID-19 reserve list on Saturday. As Josh Norman has tested positive, fellow defensive backs Levi Wallace and Dean Marlowe have been deemed high risk contacts as well as tight end Tyler Kroft. All four will miss Sunday's game versus Arizona, and this leaves this secondary exposed to Joe Burrow. They now have just three cornerbacks on the active roster, and with Micah Hyde questionable they could be down to just two safeties as well. A last-minute practice squad call-up is their only option, as fielding just five defensive backs is not a viable move.
