DeWayne Carter solidifies role on Bills defense after preseason uncertainty

DeWayne Carter is making a mark on the Buffalo Bills defense this season, playing primarily as a defensive tackle in Jim Leonhard's system. Initially facing cuts after a lackluster preseason, an injury to rookie Zane Durant allowed him to secure a roster spot. In Week 1 against the Texans, he participated in 18 snaps and followed up with 31 snaps in Week 2 against the Lions, recording a total of three tackles and a pair of pressures. Carter's performance has shown improvement as he adjusts his role to fit the team's needs. He ranks second among NFL defensive tackles in run stop win rate, highlighting his recent impact on the field.
