The Buffalo Bills confirmed a major setback to their defensive line with rookie defensive tackle DeWayne Carter officially placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in practice. The injury ends Carter’s season before it began. It also dealt a serious blow to Buffalo’s interior rotation. Carter, a third-round pick in 2024, had already flashed promise in limited action with 14 tackles, including five for loss, and three quarterback hits across 11 games.
