Rapp continues to work with the first-team defense during training camp and continues to make big plays while being looked to for leadership by coach Sean McDermott, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
With longtime stars Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde no longer in the fold, Rapp already stood a good chance of serving in a starting role entering camp. However, between his own strong play and injuries to Mike Edwards (hamstring) and Cole Bishop (shoulder), Rapp is now pretty much guaranteed to start for Week 1. Rapp put up 94 tackles and four interceptions in a starting role for the Rams in 2021, so he's worthy of the IDP radar in Buffalo now that the starting role looks to be his.
