The Buffalo Bills added a veteran cornerback in Rasul Douglas from the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
On Wednesday, they found a fantastic way to share with fans why Douglas wasn’t practicing for his first day in Buffalo.
On the team’s first injury report of the week, the team listed the normal ailments that are bugging players and what their practice status was for the day.
For Douglas, they shared that he did not practice, but not for reasons concerning any injuries. They simply listed the reason as “just got here.”
That is a delightful way to point out Douglas’ absence from the Bills practice, as it makes perfect sense for a brand-new player to miss a little time on the field while he’s getting acclimated to his new surroundings.

Hey, we hope Douglas can get out there on the practice field soon for the Bills, as injuries are starting to pile up for the Super Bowl-contending team.
Seeing quarterback Josh Allen’s name on the list with a right shoulder injury and a “did not practice” moniker might be worrisome, but that just might be precautionary as opposed to something serious.
Maybe Allen and Douglas both will be out there soon enough; Bills fans will surely hope so.
