In a short-lived solution to the Buffalo Bills’ secondary issues, cornerback Darius Slay Jr. won’t be playing for the team.

Slay, a six-time Pro Bowl corner, was acquired by the Bills on Wednesday via waiver by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Conversely, the Steelers signed wide receiver Adam Thielen and needed to waive a player to do so, and that filled a need for the Steelers at the wideout position.
