  • Bills' Christian Benford: Cleared to play Monday

    Benford (toe) does not carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the Rams, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Benford has been given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a toe injury that he sustained during the Bills' Week 3 win over the Chargers. He'll resume his starting spot at outside cornerback, and while rookie first-rounder Maxwell Hairston will start opposite Benford, rookie second-rounder Davison Igbinosun will also be involved in the Bills' secondary, per Nick Suss of ESPN.com.

  • Bills' Christian Benford: Returns to practice Thursday

    Benford (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

    Benford suffered a toe injury against the Chargers in Week 3 and didn't practice at all last week. After missing Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, the veteran cornerback was able to return to practice, albeit in a limited capacity, Thursday. The Bills play Monday against the Rams, so Benford will have two more days to try to ramp up to full practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of that contest.

  • Bills' Christian Benford: Will miss Week 4

    Benford (toe) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    The fourth-year pro was absent from practice heading into Sunday's game after exiting in the third quarter of the Patriots' Week 3 loss to Jacksonville. Davison Igbinosun is expected to see more playing time with Benford out.

  • Bills' Christian Benford: Unable to practice so far this week

    Benford (toe) did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday.

    Benford suffered a toe injury during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 3 win over the Chargers and didn't return to the contest. With consecutive DNPs to begin the week of prep, the veteran cornerback's status for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots is looking very iffy. Should Benford not be able to suit up for that game, Davison Igbinosun could draw the start.

  • Bills' Christian Benford: Won't return Sunday

    Benford (toe) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Benford left the game in the third quarter due to a toe injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Te'Cory Couch and Davison Igbinosun will continue to operate in elevated roles in Benford's absence.

  • Bills' Christian Benford: Exits game with toe injury

    Benford (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Benford went to the locker room after sustaining a toe injury in the third quarter, and he'll be evaluated by trainers to determine whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Davison Igbinosun and Te'Cory Couch are in line for more defensive snaps for as long as Benford is out of the game.

  • Bills' Christian Benford: Leads team in tackles

    Benford logged eight tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed during the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions on Thursday night.

    Benford led the Bills in tackles on the night, with linebacker Dorian Williams coming in second with six. Benford did yield a touchdown to Amon-Ra St. Brown at the start of the third quarter despite sticking tight to the wide receiver on a quick slant route. The team's primary outside cornerback played 64 out of the 65 defensive snaps over the course of the night.
