Kaleb Elarms-Orr is quietly earning more playing time on Buffalo Bills defense

Rookie linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr is steadily claiming a larger role within the Buffalo Bills defense, highlighted by a career-high 16 snaps during the team's matchup against the Patriots. This growing utilization follows previous appearances of eight snaps against the Texans, 12 against the Lions, and nine against the Chargers, raising his total defensive snap rate to 15.5 percent through four games.

While starters Dorian Williams and Terrel Bernard continue to dominate playing time with 67.1 percent and 96.1 percent snap rates respectively, Elarms-Orr has capitalized on his limited opportunities under Jim Leonhard's scheme. On those select snaps, the rookie has recorded nine tackles without a miss, alongside notable contributions in coverage and against the run that caught attention during the New England contest.
