Buffalo Bills newest additions Rasul Douglas and Linval Joseph to suit up against Bengals (Inactives)

Buffalo Bills' newest additions, cornerback Rasul Douglas and defensive tackle Linval Joseph, are active and expected to play against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Buffalo Bills have made some significant additions to their roster with the acquisition of cornerback Rasul Douglas and defensive tackle Linval Joseph. Both players are active and will be playing in Sunday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Douglas was acquired by the Bills on October 31, just before the NFL trade deadline. Despite being with the team for less than a week, he is expected to have a significant role in the game. While he is projected to become the team's number one cornerback in the future, his snap counts may be limited in his debut. The team's current starters, Dane Jackson and Christian Benford, will also be playing despite Benford's hamstring injury.

Joseph, on the other hand, joined the Bills on Thursday and will be rotated into the defensive tackle rotation alongside Ed Oliver, Jordan Phillips, and Tim Settle. The 35-year-old veteran, who previously played for the Philadelphia Eagles, was once considered one of the best run stoppers in the league. The Bills are hoping that Joseph's presence will help slow down the Bengals' running back, Joe Mixon.

In order to make room for Joseph, Poona Ford will not be suiting up for the Bills in the primetime game.

This game is crucial for the Bills as they aim to secure a win in the AFC. Quarterback Josh Allen will be leading the team and there are high hopes for a successful outcome.

Interestingly, there seems to be some lingering tension between the Bengals and the Bills. The Bengals' star wide receivers are using this as motivation ahead of the game, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the matchup.

Buffalo weather is notorious for its cold temperatures, and Leonard Fournette of the Bills had a humorous description of just how cold it can get. Despite the chilly conditions, the Bills are ready to face the Bengals and give it their all.

Linval Joseph, who was once regarded as the premier run stopper in the NFL, brings valuable experience and skills to the Bills' defense. There are four key things to know about this addition to the team.

There is also some light-hearted banter between new teammates on the Bills. A new running back jokes with a teammate that he once had a fight with on the field, adding a playful dynamic to the team.

The Bills' fanbase, known as the Bills Mafia, had a humorous reaction to Rasul Douglas landing on the injury report. It seems that they find the reason for his inclusion quite amusing.

The Bills' general manager put in a lot of effort to search the cornerback trade market and successfully landed Rasul Douglas. The process and reasoning behind this move are worth exploring.
