Buffalo Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam just turned 23 years old and has gotten a ton of repetitions this spring with veteran Rasul Douglas missing the voluntary organized team activities. Elam will be in line to challenge for a starting outside cornerback role in training camp and the preseason. He was taken with the 23rd overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Florida, but he hasn't really panned out yet for the Bills secondary early in his career. It comes after Tre'Davious White left to play for the Los Angeles Rams. Elam will be competing with Douglas and Christian Benford for more snaps on the outside at cornerback as he heads into his third NFL season. At worst, Elam will be a key backup for the Bills defense this year.

Buffalo Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam (foot) was activated from the Injured Reserve list on Wednesday. The 2022 first-round pick was placed on IR with a foot injury following the Week 8 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has been sidelined for each of the last seven games. Elam was notably a healthy scratch early in the season, so his return will provide depth for Buffalo's secondary more than anything. The 22-year-old has racked up 55 tackles and two interceptions through his first 16 career games.
