Rhodes was elevated to the Cowboys' active roster Monday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Jan. 7, Rhodes will be active for the team's contest against the Buccaneers in the wild-card round Monday. The cornerback will likely operate in a depth role behind the likes of Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland in the secondary.

Rhodes was waived Tuesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhodes was once a phenomenal cornerback, but he's 32 now and even though the Bills took a chance on him to see if he had a little more left in the tank, he saw action in just two games this season, and barely played in those. Safety Jared Mayden will take Rhodes' spot on the roster.

Rhodes (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Rhodes played 86 percent of the team's defensive snaps Week 13 against the Patriots, while Kaiir Elam sat as a healthy scratch. Now their roles will reverse Sunday, as Elam is active and Rhodes will sit.

Buffalo elevated Rhodes from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhodes is set up to potentially make his 2022 debut against his former team Sunday. With rookie first-rounder Kaiir Elam (ankle) listed as doubtful for Week 10, the Rhodes -- a former All-Pro -- could be in line for snaps right off the bat.

Rhodes (hamstring) was reinstated to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rhodes joined the Bills' practice squad Sept. 28, but he was placed on the team's injured list Oct. 1. The expectation was he'd quickly make it to the active roster but the injury derailed those plans. Now healthy, Rhodes will work to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

Rhodes (hamstring) was placed on the practice squad injured list Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhodes was signed to the Bills' practice squad with the expectation that he'd immediately contribute for a banged-up secondary. However, he'll now be out for at least the next four games, only furthering Buffalo's issues in the secondary.

Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Rhodes (hamstring) won't play Week 4, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Some expected Rhodes to be elevated to the active roster immediately after signing with Buffalo's practice squad Wednesday given that Tre'Davious White (knee) and Christian Benford (hand) will both be out and Dane Jackson (neck) is questionable to play too. However, it appears Rhodes will have to wait until at least Week 5 to see game action with an injury of his own. The Bills' secondary is a hospital wing right now, which bodes well for early MVP candidate Lamar Jackson this Sunday.

The Bills signed Rhodes to the practice squad Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhodes played for the Colts from 2020-21, making 29 starts over two seasons, but he remained a free agent to begin the 2022 campaign. While the veteran signed a practice-squad deal, he's likely going to be promoted to Buffalo's active roster for Week 4. The Bills' top cornerback, Tre'Davious White (knee), started the season on the PUP list, while fellow corners Dane Jackson (neck) and Christian Benford (hand) could be out for a couple weeks. Micah Hyde (neck) is also lost for the season, while the team's other starting safety, Jordan Poyer, is dealing with a foot injury. Given the depleted secondary, it wouldn't be surprising to see Rhodes thrust into a major role right away, even if he isn't fully acclimated to the defensive schemes yet.

Rhodes (hamstring) is trying out for the Bills on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhodes boasts serious experience and could be a short-term bandage for Buffalo's depleted secondary, though his best playing days are behind him. The 32-year-old appeared in 13 games for the Colts last season.

Rhodes (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhodes suffered the injury Week 17 against the Raiders and will miss the final game of the regular season. Isaiah Rodgers should see more action at cornerback in his absence.
