Scores first NFL touchdown in win Benford recorded two tackles (one solo), an interception and a fumble recovery for a touchdown during Sunday's 26-7 win at Pittsburgh.

Impact On the first play from scrimmage in the second half, Benford came into the backfield on a corner blitz, putting him in position to scoop up an Aaron Rodgers fumble at the Steelers' 17-yard line and dash into the end zone. He had a relatively slow start to the year, but things appear to be picking up for him with a Week 14 tilt versus the Bengals around the corner.

Trio of tackles in TNF loss Benford recorded three tackles (one solo) in Thursday night's loss to Houston.

Impact Benford dealt with a groin issue during the practice week but logged 95 percent of the defensive snaps. Davis Mills rarely targeted Benford in coverage but was successful when he did, completing all three passes for 51 yards. Through 10 games this season, Benford has piled up 36 tackles (26 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery.

Ready for Thursday Benford (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Texans.

Impact The 25-year-old began the Bills' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions after missing the team's Week 11 win over the Buccaneers due to a groin injury. However, Benford practiced in full Wednesday, suggesting he's moved past his groin issue in time to play Thursday. Now fully healthy, expect the Villanova product to operate as one of Buffalo's top boundary cornerbacks in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Still working through groin injury Benford (groin) was limited during Monday's walkthrough practice, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact A groin injury prevented Benford from playing against the Dolphins in Week 10, but he was cleared to play in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers, when he logged one solo tackle while playing every single defensive snap. Seeing as he didn't miss a snap on defense Week 11, Benford will likely be available for Thursday's game against the Texans, though he'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday Benford (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Benford was inactive for last Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, missing his first game of the season. In his absence, Maxwell Hairston, Tre'Davious White and Cameron Lewis dominated cornerback snaps, with Ja'Marcus Ingram seeing 11 defensive snaps as the fourth corner. A limited start to the practice week would seem to suggest Benford has a chance to return this week against Tampa Bay.

Inactive Sunday Benford (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact The starting cornerback popped up on the injury report Wednesday after playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps against the Chiefs in Week 9. Benford has played on most of the defensive snaps this season for the Bills. In his absence, rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston should see more playing time.

NOVEMBER 9 • BUFFALOBILLS.COM

Questionable to face Miami Benford (groin) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Impact Benford is scheduled to be a limited participant in practice Friday, which would match Wednesday's participation level. The starting cornerback didn't practice Thursday. If Benford can't play Sunday, speedster Maxwell Hairston could see additional playing time as the Bills try to slow down Jaylen Waddle.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice Thursday Benford (groin) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Benford was limited in practice Wednesday, so it's possible he may have suffered a setback with his groin injury. The starting cornerback played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Buffalo's impressive win over the Chiefs in Week 9. Unless Benford is able to retake the practice field as at least a limited participant Friday, he could be in danger of sitting out Sunday's road matchup against the Dolphins.
