BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills placed cornerback Kaiir Elam on injured reserve on Thursday due to a lingering ankle injury. General manager Brandon Beane said that the move was a possibility on Wednesday to get the Bills' 2022 first-round pick fully healthy and allow his ankle to heal.

"I wouldn't say he's been a 100% healthy scratch, part of it has been it hasn't worked out perfectly in the games so far," Beane said. "... I know Josh Norman is here. In Carolina we drafted Josh in '12 and I know there was multiple times we had to sit Josh down and I believe it was middle of his third year where the light came on and the next year, he really flipped the switch.
