KAIIR ELAM NEWS

Returns to limited work Elam (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis Wednesday.

Impact While Elam is still a rookie, his presence was missed in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, as the Bills couldn't do anything to stop Justin Jefferson. Buffalo's secondary is quite banged up even outside of Elam's injury, so if he can rally and return Sunday against the Browns, it'd be a nice boost toward the team's quest to halt a two-game losing streak.

Sitting out in Week 10 Elam (ankle) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact As expected, Elam won't play in Sunday's contest versus Minnesota as a result of an ankle injury he sustained during last Sunday's matchup against the Jets. In the rookie first-rounder's absence, Dane Jackson and Taron Johnson are in line for expanded roles at cornerback in Week 10.

Deemed doubtful The Bills have listed Elam (ankle) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact After practicing in limited fashion to start the week, Elam was a non-participant Thursday and Friday. Thus, he is seemingly trending in the wrong direction. If he is indeed unable to give it a go, Siran Neal could potentially see some extra snaps providing depth at cornerback, though it's also possible the Bills could start working star corner Tre'Davious White (knee) back into the mix.

Returns during second half Elam (ankle) returned during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Elam stepped in to replace veteran cornerback Dane Jackson with the game tied 17-17 late in the fourth quarter, per Getzenberg. The rookie recorded 31 tackles, three passes defended and two interceptions over the first seven games of the season, and it will be worth monitoring his health status during practice this following week.

Questionable to return Elam is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets with an ankle injury.

Impact Elam logged two tackles before leaving in the second half, though the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. With the first-round rookie out, expect fellow reserve cornerbacks Siran Neal and Christian Benford to step up into bigger roles behind Taron Johnson and Dane Jackson.

Amasses 10 tackles, one pick Sunday Elam recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) and one interception during Sunday's 38-3 win over the Steelers.

Impact Easily his best outing as a pro, Elam collected double-digit stops and also caught the first interception of his young career Sunday against Pittsburgh. Since fellow rookie cornerback Christian Benford broke his hand during the Bills' Week 3 contest versus Miami, the 191-pounder has seen a massive jump in playing time over the last two weeks (134-of-135 possible defensive snaps) as a result. Elam hopes to keep the train rolling Sunday against the Chiefs.

Time to shine With teammate Dane Jackson being ruled out for Week 3 due to a neck injury, Elam is expected to have a major role in this week's road game at Miami.

Impact Elam has already been co-starting with fellow rookie Christian Benford, seeing 45 percent of the snaps in the opener and 63 percent of the snaps in Week 2. Expect that number to spike even higher in Week 3, and he could be a decent candidate for tackles in fantasy leagues that use the corner spot, especially with the way the Dolphins have been passing the ball in early action.
