Bills' Brandon Codrington: Set to serve as return ace
Rotowire
Codrington is set to serve as the Bills' return man on kickoffs and punts following the team's roster cuts this week, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Codrington averaged 11.6 yards per punt return (third in the NFL among players with 10 or more punt returns) and 27.8 yards on kickoff returns (14th in the NFL among players with 10 or more kickoff returns) in the 2024 regular season. With Laviska Shenault getting released by the team this week, it looks like Codrington will have the job all to himself, though it's worth noting he saw just 64 defensive snaps across 17 regular-season games last season.

He did not suit up for any of the Bills' three playoff games. Codrington signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent last May before being traded to the Bills in late August.

Codrington (hamstring) was a full participant in Buffalo's walkthrough practice Wednesday.
The North Carolina Central product was sidelined for the Bills' wild-card round win over the Broncos due to a hamstring injury. However, Wednesday's full practice estimation suggests he's recovered from the issue. With Codrington back at full health, he's expected to assume Buffalo's top return specialist duties for the divisional-round matchup against the Ravens on Sunday night.

Bills' Brandon Codrington: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Codrington (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Broncos.
The 24-year-old corner appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's playoff contest, as he upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited sessions Thursday and Friday. Codrington has appeared in all 17 of the Bills' games this season, recording 306 kick return yards and 313 punt return yards. If he's unable to play through his hamstring injury in the wild-card round, Ty Johnson is expected to assume Buffalo's top return specialist duties.

Codrington (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Codrington was unable to participate during the Bills' walkthrough practice Wednesday after seemingly suffering the injury during Sunday's loss to the Patriots. The 24-year-old will work to get back on the field Thursday ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Broncos. If he is unable to play, it likely won't impact Buffalo's defense, but the team would have to turn elsewhere for a return man on special teams.
