Injury Updates: Bills' Christian Benford Questionable for Patriots Game

Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford is listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the New England Patriots due to a toe injury. According to Pro Football Talk, Benford did not practice on Friday and was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

His absence would be a significant blow to the Bills' secondary, as noted by Buffalo Rumblings, where it was highlighted that Benford has been a key playmaker, scoring touchdowns in the last two games and being named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.

Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that Benford's injury occurred during practice but did not provide further details regarding his status for Sunday. If Benford cannot play, the Bills will rely on veteran cornerback TreDavious White and rookie Maxwell Hairston to step up in his absence.

The Bills are facing a formidable Patriots offense, and without Benford, they will need to adjust their defensive strategy to contain key players like quarterback Drake Maye and running back TreVeyon Henderson.

It remains crucial for the Bills to secure a victory to keep their hopes alive for the AFC East title, as they currently sit in second place behind the Patriots.
