Compare it to the preseason depth chart. They're down to a guy off the street at MLB who wouldn't have made their opening roster, their #3CB (#4 if you include NB ahead of him), and a CB they acquired mid-season who is injured. Their other LB is playing but wearing a shoulder harness after missing a bunch of time.
The Bills' injuries at LB and CB are not dissimilar to the Chiefs collective injuries at OL by the time Superbowl LV happened.

If we can’t beat the Bills in this state, we have no excuse. These injuries play exactly into what Reid is best at manipulating.
