The Buffalo Bills will officially be without one of their top defensive backs for this afternoon’s playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cornerback Rasul Douglas, who suffered a knee injury in the first half of last week’s regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins, was on the Bills’ official inactive list when it was unveiled a short time ago.
Douglas missed practice in the days leading up to today, and even with an extra day to prepare due to the snow storm that pushed the game back until Monday, he’ll be unavailable this afternoon.
Wide receiver Gabe Davis, safety Taylor Rapp and linebacker Tyrel Dodson are among the other key Bills who won’t play today.

Acquired from the Green Bay Packers during the season, Douglas appeared in nine games for Buffalo, starting eight. He logged 29 tackles, four interceptions, including a pick-6, two fumble recoveries and one sack.
Without Douglas in the lineup, Christian Benford and Dane Jackson are expected to have expanded roles for Buffalo.
The Bills and Steelers will kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET today on CBS.
