Rotowire
Douglas compiled seven total tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Bills.
Douglas was on the field for all but three defensive plays in Week 3, finding himself more busy than he had been in the team's first two games.

Dolphins' Rasul Douglas: Signs with Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins signed Douglas to a one-year, $3 million contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Douglas turns 30 years old later this week and is coming off a 2024 season in Buffalo where he started all 15 regular-season games in which he appeared, logging 58 tackles (43 solo), five pass breakups and one forced fumble. Miami is essentially starting from scratch with its secondary this season, and Douglas figures to play a prominent role.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Underperforms with Bills
Rotowire
Douglas tallied 58 total tackles (43 solo), five passes defended and one forced fumble over 15 regular-season games in 2024.
Douglas remained relatively productive in his first full season with Buffalo, ranking third on the team in passes defended and fourth in tackles for loss (five) while starting each game he appeared in. However, the 29-year-old's production declined significantly from 2023, especially in passes defended (14 to five) and interceptions (five to zero). While Douglas played 157 fewer defensive snaps in 2024 than in 2023, his drop in production remains a concern. Having just completed the final season of his current contract, he's set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Despite a down year, Douglas will likely remain a sought-after name for teams in need of secondary help.

Rotowire
Douglas (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.
Douglas appears poised to return following a two-game absence. It'll be a boost for Buffalo's defense over the final two weeks of the regular season and into the playoffs. In 13 games this season, Douglas has recorded 55 tackles (40 solo), five pass breakups and one forced fumble as one of the Bills' starting cornerbacks.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Out vs. Patriots
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.
Douglas was limited all week at practice following an absence in last week's win over the Lions. He will ultimately not be able to get the green light from the team's medical staff. In his absence, Ja'Marcus Ingram and Kaiir Elam are candidates to see increased snaps at cornerback.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Sticking to limited practice Friday
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice and is questionable for Buffalo's Week 16 outing against the Patriots, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Douglas will log another limited practice as he works back from a knee injury that sidelined him in last week's huge win over the Lions. The veteran cornerback is now listed as questionable for this upcoming Sunday's game versus the Patriots, and his practice this Friday should be a huge decider on whether he'll suit up against the conference opponent.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Still nursing knee injury
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Douglas missed his first game of 2024 in Buffalo's Week 15 win over the Lions due to a knee injury, and Wednesday's estimated limited session indicates he's still dealing with the issue. The veteran corner from West Virginia has recorded 55 total tackles, including five passes defended, and one forced fumble over 13 appearances this season. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can return in Week 16, when the Bills face the Patriots.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Ruled out for Week 15
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
One of the Bills' two starting outside cornerbacks, Douglas will miss his first game of the season, and it comes ahead of a Week 15 showdown with the Lions at Ford Field on Sunday. Ja'Marcus Ingram is likely to get the start in his place and will have his hands full with Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick. Christian Benford will cover the opposite side of the field, and Taron Johnson mans the slot for Buffalo, where he'll see a lot of Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Douglas (knee) will not participate in practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Buffalo is hosting a walkthrough practice session Wednesday, but Douglas' lack of availability nonetheless bodes poorly for his chances of being available for Sunday's road matchup against the Lions. He's nursing a knee injury sustained during the second half of the Bills' loss to the Rams in Week 14.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Key acquisition in 2023
Rotowire
Douglas posted 61 tackles, 1.0 sacks, 14 passes defensed, five interceptions, a pick-six and three fumble recoveries over 16 regular-season games in 2023 split between the Packers and Bills.
Buffalo acquired Douglas from Green Bay in a Halloween trade, and the veteran played a key role in helping the Bills turn around their season and win a fourth straight AFC East title. With Buffalo losing several key pieces this offseason, Douglas will remain a clear-cut starter in the secondary and locker room leader entering his eighth NFL season. He's had four-plus picks in each of the last three seasons.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Douglas is hoping to return to the field Sunday after missing the Bills' wild-card win over the Steelers due to a knee issue, and he's been able to log back-to-back limited sessions to open the team's week of practice. The 28-year-old has been Buffalo's top cornerback since joining the team in Week 9, so it would be a big loss if he's unable to suit up in the divisional round. Douglas would likely have to practice in full Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Bills' Rasul Douglas: Inactive versus Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Douglas (knee) is inactive for Monday's wild-card game against the Steelers.
Douglas injured his knee in the Week 18 win over the Dolphins and was unable to practice all week. Since his acquisition from the Packers at the trade deadline, Douglas has been filling in as Buffalo's top cover corner due to Tre'Davious White being done for the season with a torn Achilles suffered back in Week 4. Taron Johnson, Christian Benford and Dane Jackson will soak up the bulk of the cornerback snaps for the Bills in the wild-card round.

Douglas won't practice Friday, continuing a trend of non-participation since he suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of the regular-season finale against the Dolphins. If Douglas is unable to play Sunday, Christian Benford could be slated for a larger role in Buffalo's secondary.

Rotowire
Douglas had eight tackles (seven solo) and an interception in Monday's 24-12 victory over the Rams.
Douglas did not record an interception over the first seven weeks of the season, but he has picked up the pace in that department, snagging three errant passes over Green Bay's last seven games.

Douglas stepped in front of Gabe Davis in the fourth quarter for his first interception of the season, which he lateraled to fellow cornerback Jaire Alexander for a one-yard return.

Packers' Rasul Douglas: Makes major impact in Green Bay
Rotowire
Douglas tallied 57 tackles (52 solo), five interceptions, a forced fumble, 13 pass deflections and two touchdowns over 12 appearances with the Packers in 2021.
Douglas spent the first five weeks of the season on the Cardinals' practice squad, but the Packers subsequently picked him up and watched him make a major impact the rest of the way. After finishing tied for fourth in the league in interceptions and tied for 15th in pass deflections -- all while playing far fewer games than most of those above him -- the 26-year-old is a lock to open next season on some team's roster. Just exactly whose, however, remains to be seen.
