Bills place CB Leodis McKelvin on Injured Reserve

PrintThe Buffalo Bills have placed second-year cornerback Leodis McKelvin on Injured Reserve, ending his season.
McKelvin broke his fibula in the Bills' Week 3 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Veteran cornerback Drayton Florence assumed his role as a starting cornerback, and will continue to do so in Week 4 and beyond. Second-year man Reggie Corner becomes the full-time nickel cornerback, with veteran Ashton Youboty and rookie seventh-round pick Ellis Lankster set to see more time as well.
The 2009 season, for McKelvin, will be remembered for one play: his fumble on Monday Night Football that allowed the Patriots to come from behind in an opening-week victory. That play was unfortunate, but the end to his sophomore season outranks that by a considerable margin.
RB Marshawn Lynch, who missed the first three games of the season while suspended, assumes McKelvin's spot on the 53-man roster.

No big deal
that’s why we just keep on drafting DB’s – better count for something with all those draft picks

No big deal?
It’s a completely lost season for a guy who needed playing time. That stinks. He’ll be going into year 3, still unproven and giving us little reason to believe he’s a shutdown CB. Again, that stinks.
Safe to say, we haven’t gotten nearly what we expected out of him….

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
well I guess i’m just thinking about us winning this season – and no I don’t think he’s that big of a loss this year.
we have good depth there – it’s a position that we can afford to lose someone.
as far as his development it does stink – but that’s about it

Seeing Leodis McKelvin’s season come to a premature end due to injury hurts the Bills secondary no question. But the one it really hurts is Leodis McKelvin.
In his first year as a starter, McKelvin was going to gain a world of experience facing top receivers like Andre Johnson, Steve Smith, Roddy White and Reggie Wayne. But all of those opportunities are now lost.
Buffalo’s defensive staff in training camp mentioned more than once the importance of a player’s first season as a starter. It’s one of the biggest learning years for a player because they’re exposed to more than they ever have been about the game. It’s just a shame for McKelvin.
I’m sure that he’ll be in the meeting rooms and still studying film every week with his teammates, but those reps out on the practice field and on Sundays are valuable. McKelvin was supposed to develop into another playmaker for this Bills defense. Now it’s on hold.
from Chris Brown – pretty much said what you said there K.

It will definitely stunt his growth, maybe to the point that we can’t even count on him going into next year.
I had a feeling this IR move was coming once we found out it was a fractured fibula. Then the team didn’t release Jenkins, so the writing appeared to be on the wall. It’s just too bad. This team needed him to get all these reps out there and now he’ll be even further behind normal 3rd year players.

I 100% agree with K
That doesn’t happen often. This might not be a terrible loss this year, but it will hurt next year. And it mean Florence is on the outside, a position he epically failed at last year….ugh

seriously – with all the guys we’ve drafted at DB this should be the least impacted position when a starter goes down with a season ending injury

please
youboty needs to step up in a room full of midgets, the guys terrible
Starting a movement to draft Jimmy Clausen in april, he'll be the 2nd coming of Kelly, the saviour of the Bills
Injury-riddled yes, but hardly terrible. He was our nickle-back last season for a reason. He hasn’t quite been the same player since his injury last year, but his biggest problem right now is our strong depth at cornerback – he hasn’t gotten much of a chance to prove himself.
they can pay me half of what there paying youboty and i’d make more plays cause i’d play in more games. The kids on disability, collecting a check from the bills and taking up a roster spot. Corner is looking like our Nickleback of the future, as far as i’m concerned the only thing youboty’s doing is costing lankster field time…..but that’s just my opinion
Starting a movement to draft Jimmy Clausen in april, he'll be the 2nd coming of Kelly, the saviour of the Bills
I don’t see Youboty as a waster of a roster spot at all. He has of course had problems staying on the field due to injury, however he is still quite young and is a good player when on the field. Keep in mind that if McGee, Florence or Corner were to get dinged up, even if only for a week, that without Youboty, Lankster would be the nickle back. With McKelvin lost for the year, Youboty is great depth to have, assuming he will stay healthy. With the injuries at safety, Lankster will get his chance to get onto the field in some form or another, I’m sure.
Blessing in Disguise...
I got love for McKelvin but i honestly believe Florence is a way better Cover DB rightnow!

since when? you make it seem as though he’s been around forever. this is his 2nd season. or, at least it was supposed to be.
Exactly
And he hasn’t proven to be a playmaker back there, so expecting him to be one doesn’t make much sense….

Lankster won’t be returning kicks this week though. It’ll be Roscoe or Freddy. He’ll be active this week just cause everybody and their mothers is hurt.

Speaking from experience of watching Lankster return kicks in college, the guy can be dynamic, but he’s scary as hell back there because he cannot catch
"Potential just means you haven’t done sh## yet"
He averaged less than 9 yards per punt return, and about 24 per kick return. I wouldn’t exactly call that dynamic, though he’d probably be a better KR than Roscoe….

If by routinely
you mean “didn’t return a single kick in the preseason”, then I agree! He didn’t have a kick return, and had 2 punt returns in the finale.

Could be
That’s a good point, although he may have been sprung because of those penalties.
I’m not saying Lankster couldn’t be good back there, just that there’s no track record to believe he’ll be good. I do want anyone but Roscoe back there, so Lankster deserves a shot assuming he can hang onto the rock.

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
I said CAN
be dynamic. When you drop half the punts/kickoffs you return, you dont get very far and your average struggles.
"Potential just means you haven’t done sh## yet"
Please let someone else return kickoffs!
Good thing we went out and got florence, along with the drafting we did. The only thing that sucks now is we have to watch Roscoe get abused on kick off’s. He looked TERRIBLE sunday.

You know I have to agree with Focused on this – Florence is more in your fact press coverage – and is definitely our strongest CB (which is why he was perfect for the nickel) and with how our D-line has been doing this could actually help us.
I thought Corner has been doing a good job on nickel duties anyways.
And with other injuries to DB I believe Lankster will be activated come Sunday – it would be interesting (though highly unlikely) to see him take some kick off returns…

Let me get this right....
OBD gets bashed at draft time for taking too many DBs for multiple years in a row. Yet here we are again with 3/4 of our starting secondary down and everyone is saying thank God we drafted so many DBs? You can’t have your cake and eat it too people. Kind of reminds me of how Owens gets booed for dropping a pass and then chanted his name when he scores a TD….

Again though, if the Bills had taken a LB in the 7th round in 2008 instead of Kennard Cox and he didn’t make the team, who cares? Yes I completely agree with you that Cox had less of a chance of making the team because he played a loaded position but then couldn’t the same be said of Lankster this year? He made the team.

Not keep rebuilding year after year, McKelvin technically started plenty games last tear with the injuries that occured and it actually seemed he regressed through te 1st 3 weeks of the year. Maybe it’s karma? After all, we’d at least be 3-0(or had a better shot at it) if not for his last minute fumble. Draynto Florence is going to take that spot, it’s been released and I think he will do just fine. We have Corner and Youboty to sub and take slot. Watch these corners shine now

OK
but that doesn’t mean he has the upside Leo has. He’s on his 3rd team and turns 29 this year. Leo was drafted 11th overall to develop into a shutdown CB. If you want to argue Florence might be the more stable CB right now, I’d agree, but in no way does that mean he has more upside at CB….

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
RB Marshawn Lynch, who missed the first three games of the season while suspended, assumes McKelvin’s spot on the 53-man roster.
I thought the team cut Jenkins to make room for Lynch earlier in the week. With McKelvin going to IR doesn’t the roster stand at 52? If so, maybe it’s time to add a tackle with at least some starting experience.

Is it just me or does buffalo seem to have had the most injurys the past 3-4 years? maybe it’s cause i pay attention to them more then any other team, but it sure seems that way. Is it the grass at the ralph? is it lousy training/medical staff? is it the curse of the 4 afc championships? 4 starters are gone for the year after 3 games, and that’s not including mckelvin, poz, scott, johnsons ribs, hardy who’s still hurt from last year, nelson, bell and mcgee being banged up week to week.

yikes
terrible news. it just seems like one of the seasons where things are just going to keep getting worse.
It's more of an impact on our special teams
because he is already an elite returner and Roscoe is no NFL KR. I would like to see Omon get first crack at it, but if he sucks we’’ve still got McGee. We need big plays on special teams in order to impact games in unison with what should be an offense that can actually score (sans last week of course). I’m willing to risk McGee resuming his dual role again in order to maintain a potentially gamechanging presence. The next guy will step up defensively for Leodis at CB. That’s why you establish quality depth in the first place.
I’m guessing Omon won’t even be active anymore…
Lankster should start being active on gamedays, but that’s no guarantee. He will be active this week with Whitner and Scott out at Safety, but when they return, who knows.

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."

I would take an inconsistent winner if it meant we could go to the playoffs once every five years......aiming to high?????
Poor ball security leads to very painful outcomes
Anyone else surprised (disappointed)
they placed him on the IR? Isn’t it an 8-week recovery period for a broken fibula? This really does stink in more ways than one.

i said it before – i played on a broken fibula in college. I know others who did as well, in various sports. McKelvin is out for the year. Its incredibly surprising.
I think the only variable is the location – they thought it was an ankle injury at first, so maybe it cracked/fractured very low where it meets the tibia and becomes part of the ankle?
