Christian Benford - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Exits with injury Benford (hand) is questionable to return for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Benford was expected to step in as one of the Bills' starting cornerbacks with Dane Jackson (neck) ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's contest. With the rookie's status now up in the air as well, expect Taron Johnson and Kaiir Elam to work as the team's primary cornerback duo against the Dolphins' talented corps of pass catchers.

Big test ahead With cornerback Dane Jackson ruled out for Sunday with a neck injury, Benford is in line to start at cornerback against the Dolphins, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site report...

Impact Technically, Benford has already been starting, as he and fellow rookie Kaiir Elam have been serving as co-starters opposite Jackson while stud corner Tre'Davious White is on IR. However, Benford has gotten more snaps (86 to 65) than Elam. It's a pretty impressive accomplishment for Benford, considering he's a sixth-round rookie out of Villanova while Elam comes with a first-round pedigree. Both players are sure to be involved in plenty of action Sunday trying to stop the Dolphins' dynamic duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, which could lead to more tackles than is normally expected from the corner spots. Through two games, Elam has posted six tackles and one pass defensed.
