Bills' Christian Benford among inactives vs. Patriots Buffalo did not have any players with an injury designation heading into today's game against the Patriots.
JANUARY 8, 2023 • SYRACUSE.COM
Restored to active roster The Bills activated Benford (oblique) from IR on Friday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.
Impact Benford has been sidelined on IR since suffering an oblique strain during the Week 12 win over Detroit. The rookie cornerback was then designated to return to practice Dec. 29, and he should now be available to play heading into the regular-season finale versus New England. Benford has recorded 24 tackles and five passes defended, including one interception, across nine games this season, and he'll likely slot back into a primary reserve role alongside cornerbacks Taron Johnson and Kaiir Elam.
JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returning to practice The Bills announced Thursday that Benford (oblique) has been designated for a return to practice from IR.
Impact Benford landed on IR after suffering an oblique injury Thanksgiving versus the Lions, but he's now eligible to retake the field as early as Monday's game against Cincinnati. The rookie sixth-round pick has a 21-day practice window where he can be evaluated without counting against the active roster.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on IR Buffalo moved Benford (oblique) to injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Benford suffered an oblique injury Thanksgiving against the Lions and was initially said to be week-to-week. Now that he's been placed on IR, the cornerback will miss at least four games. Prior to the injury, Benford had logged at least 23 defensive snaps in all but one of the contests in which he played this season, and he had totaled 24 tackles (17 solo) and one interception across nine games.
NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sustains oblique injury Benford suffered an oblique injury in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Benford played 32 snaps while tallying four tackles prior to exiting the game. There was no official diagnosis provided, though coach Sean McDermott noted that Benford is week-to-week. That puts his status for Thursday's Week 13 matchup against the Patriots in serious jeopardy.

Impact Benford snagged his first interception of the 2022 season and also set a season high with three passes defended. He's seen his playing time increase dramatically over the last few weeks as part of a banged-up secondary, with his snaps jumping from 37 to 77 in the span of one week.

Bills defense poised to make things even worse for Aaron Rodgers, Packers
No injury designation Benford doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
Impact Benford will return to action in Week 6 after missing the previous two games due to a hand injury. The rookie sixth-round pick had to battle for a roster spot, but he's been thrust into an expanded role for Buffalo's injury-depleted secondary.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Possibility for Week 6 Benford, who has missed the past two games with a hand injury, returned to a limited practice Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Benford has quickly gone from a sixth-round rookie who had to fight for a spot on the team to a key contributor for an injury-depleted secondary. Fellow rookie Kaiir Elam has played so well that Benford may not be a shared starter when he returns, but he's proven capable enough that he'll see the field plenty for the rest of the season.
OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out Sunday Benford (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Benford sustained a fractured hand in the Bills' Week 3 loss to the Dolphins and required surgery. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to the field, but Kaiir Elam and Cam Lewis will likely see increased run against Pittsburgh.
OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will need surgery Benford will need surgery to repair the fractured hand he suffered in the team's loss to the Dolphins on Sunday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Benford is looking at a multi-week absence, although an exact timetable for his return is not yet known. With Dane Jackson's (neck) status still up in the air and Tre'Davious White (knee) certain to miss next week due to his IR status, the Bills are looking thin in the secondary. If Jackson is unable to return Sunday against the Ravens, Ja'Marcus Ingram will likely be looking at extra opportunity.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Has fractured hand Benford fractured his hand in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact A timetable for the rookie cornerback's return has yet to be established, but Benford's most likely facing a multi-week absence. Ja'Marcus Ingram took over after Benford got hurt in Miami, and Ingram will likely continue to play a larger role while Benford recovers.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns versus Miami Benford (hand) returned for the second half of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Benford lined up for the second half kickoff with his right hand wrapped, though he came back out once the Bills defense took the field. Instead, Ja'Marcus Ingram appears set to step in at cornerback for the remainder of Sunday's contest, per Getzenberg.
