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.

Impact 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.

Returns to practice Thursday Benford (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact 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.

Unable to practice so far this week Benford (toe) did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday.

Impact 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.
