Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford (knee) is listed as questionable to return to Monday's wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bills can really not afford many more injuries to their defense. If the 23-year-old is unable to return for the rest of the game against Pittsburgh, Siran Neal, Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis should see more playing time for the Bills' secondary. If the Bills advance to the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Benford may not be ready to go next weekend. In his second season with Buffalo during the 2023 season, Benford had 54 tackles (43 solo), three tackles for loss, two interceptions, 10 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 15 regular season games.
Buffalo Bills rookie cornerback Christian Benford (hand) suffered a fractured hand in the Week 3 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, according to a source. According to Bills beat writer Chris Brown, Benford will need surgery to fix his broken hand and will miss multiple games as a result. The Bills have also been without Dane Jackson (neck) and star Tre'Davious White (knee), so Buffalo's secondary is in shambles early in the year. Safety Micah Hyde (neck) is out for the year and Jordan Poyer (foot) was inactive on Sunday. If Jackson isn't able to return in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens after getting injured in Week 2, the Bills may have to turn to cornerback Ja'Marcus Ingram. It's good news for the Ravens receivers.
