Coach Sean McDermott indicated to Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site Thursday that the battle for the No. 2 cornerback job between Wallace and Dane Jackson is still taking place. "We've got extremely competitive guys out here that want to compete, that's the environment that we foster and facilitate every day out here," McDermott shared. "Yet it's putting the team first and taking care of one another. You'll see Levi (Wallace) out there and you'll also see Dane (Jackson) at times."

EDGE Analysis

We still like Wallace to win this battle, as he has more experience than Jackson and he's also healthier, as the latter continues to wear a no-contact jersey at practice due to a stinger. Even if Wallace is the starter come Week 1, Jackson has made this enough of a battle that it probably wouldn't take much for the coach to make a switch in roles.

Wallace was back at practice Wednesday after missing some time last week with a hip injury, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallace wasn't even one of the injured Bills mentioned as having to practice in a red jersey, so we assume he's well on his way to suiting up Week 1 against the Steelers. All indications are that he'll begin the season as a starting cornerback across from Tre'Davious White.

Wallace missed Wednesday's practice session due to a hip injury, Dante Lasting of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallace is in a battle with Dane Jackson for the No. 2 cornerback job, but assuming Wallace can get back to work it seems like he's held serve throughout camp and should be the guy starting opposite Tre'Davious White come Week 1. Jackson is also missing time right now due to a stinger.

Wallace has reportedly had a strong camp but is still in a battle with Dane Jackson for the starting cornerback job opposite Tre'Davious White, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. "We still have more views that we need and I think this game against Chicago will help us with that," defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said Monday. "Levi has had a terrific camp, Dane has done some good things as well, but we need to continue this process."

EDGE Analysis

Wallace is the incumbent so the thought here is he'll get the job unless he gets highly outplayed by Jackson over the next two weeks. Failing that slight surprise, Wallace will enter the season as the starter and be a decent candidate for meaningful IDP stats considering teams target White so infrequently. Of course, the fact that it's still a tight battle this late in camp suggests Wallace would also be on a short leash should he win the job.

Wallace is the frontrunner for the second starting cornerback job opposite TreDavious White, though he's expected to get a challenge from second-year man Dane Jackson, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallace has been a capable starter over his three-year pro career, but like a comfortable pair of jeans, what the undrafted free agent from 2018 has brought to the team is sometimes taken for granted. While there was some thought the contending Bills would bring in a higher-profile free agent to start across from White, Jackson seems to be Wallace's only real threat to the job. And Wallace has him beat in terms of experience and track record, as Jackson only played five regular-season games during his 2020 rookie season. It's a job battle worth monitoring in IDP formats -- teams shy away from the superstar White so much that the other corner gets targeted often. Wallace put up 76 tackles in 2019 (16 games) and 48 in 12 regular-season games last season, while he has four interceptions and 17 passes defensed across those two regular seasons.

Wallace re-signed Tuesday, agreeing to a one-year deal, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallace has carved out a nice career with the team considering his undrafted free-agent status out of Alabama in 2017. While he's not a lock-solid starter, Wallace has started more games at corner for the team than anyone outside of Tre'Davious White over the past three seasons, and he'll get his fair shot at the starter's job once again for the 2021 campaign.

The Bills will not place a tender on restricted free agent Wallace, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallace worked opposite of Tre'Davious White in 2020, and the duo formed a formidable challenge for opposing offenses. Though he was limited to 12 games due to an ankle injury and COVID-19 protocols, Wallace managed eight passes defended and two interceptions. Though the Bills declined to tender Wallace, the team reportedly still is interested in retaining him.

Wallace was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallace was forced to sit out Week 10 after being deemed a close contact of teammate Josh Norman, who tested positive for the virus just ahead of this past Sunday's contest and has yet to be cleared. The Bills are on bye Week 11, but Wallace appears set to resume his starting cornerback role when the team takes on the Chargers in Week 12.

Wallace has been determined to have been in recent close contact with Josh Norman, who has tested positive for COVID-19, The Buffalo News reports. Wallace has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and will not play Sunday at Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Things just got even more challenging for the Bills as they try to slow down Arizona's high-powered offense, as cornerbacks #2 and #3 are now out for the game. The Bills had to make several practice squad call-ups Saturday since none of the affected players will have time to be cleared for Sunday's game.

Wallace, out since Week 4 with an ankle injury, was officially activated from injured reserve Saturday, the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was expected leading up to the Week 8 game against the Patriots. With Josh Norman out, Wallace should resume his starting cornerback duties opposite Tre'Davious White, though we'll see if Wallace is ready for a full workload after so much missed time.
