Bills' Maxwell Hairston: Past ankle issue
Hairston (ankle) was spotted participating in Buffalo's OTAs on Wednesday, Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com reports.
Hairston didn't play in either of Buffalo's two playoff games last season due to an ankle injury, but it appears he's moved past the issue. The 2025 first-round pick from Kentucky appeared in 11 regular-season contests during his rookie campaign, recording 18 total tackles and five passes defensed, including two interceptions. Entering his second NFL season, Hairston is expected to operate as one of Buffalo's top outside cornerbacks.

Bills' Maxwell Hairston: Shows flashes in rookie season
Hairston (ankle) tallied 18 total tackles (14 solo) and five passes defensed, including two interceptions, over 11 regular-season games in 2025.
Hairston, a 2025 first-round pick from Kentucky, missed eight games (including playoffs) during his rookie campaign due to knee, ankle and head injuries. Despite this, the 22-year-old was productive when healthy, tying for second on the team in interceptions while ranking third in passes defensed. Additionally, Hairston tied for the third-most interceptions among rookie defenders. He's expected to start as one of Buffalo's top boundary corners ahead of the 2026 season.

Despite recording three total tackles across 42 defensive snaps in the Bills' Week 18 win over the Jets, Hairston is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury. The 2025 first-round pick from Kentucky has appeared in 11 regular-season contests, posting 18 total tackles and five passes defensed, including two interceptions. While he's sidelined Saturday, expect Dane Jackson to operate as Buffalo's top reserve outside corner.

Bills' Maxwell Hairston: Absent again
Hairston (ankle) was not on the field during Wednesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Hairston was unable to participate in the Bills' wild-card victory over the Jaguars last Sunday due to an ankle injury that kept him out of practice during the week. The rookie cornerback has continued the trend of nonparticipation through Week 20, missing consecutive practices to start the week. Unless Hairston can upgrade his participation level in Thursday's session, he will likely miss the Bills' divisional round matchup with the Broncos on Saturday as well.

He is considered week-to-week, so unless he returns to practice over the next two days, Hairston is unlikely to be available for Saturday's divisional-round clash against Denver.
