After winning three straight games following the season-opening loss to the division-rival New York Jets, the Buffalo Bills were brought back down to earth again in Week 5, with the Jacksonville Jaguars getting the best of Josh Allen and company in London.
Along with losing to the Jaguars overseas in England, the Bills suffered another devastating blow to their defense, with the team losing another All-Pro player for the season on that side of the football for the second straight week.
Last week, it was cornerback Tre’Davious White who went down with a torn Achilles in the win over the Miami Dolphins, and this week, it was linebacker Matt Milano who suffered a season-ending knee injury.
With the Bills needing a boost on the defensive side of the football after losing White and Milano, the team has brought back a familiar face, as Buffalo has signed veteran cornerback Josh Norman to the practice squad, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network via FOX Sports: NFL.

With the Bills looking like a potential Super Bowl title contender this season, Buffalo will hope they can battle through these injuries and continue to remain competitive defensively, as things will get tricky when the second half of the year rolls around.
After facing the New York Giants and New England Patriots over the next two weeks, things won’t get easier for the Bills and their schedule.
Buffalo has held up well, with Allen playing at an elite level, but the team could start to falter if the defense isn’t the same moving forward.
