The Buffalo Bills are protecting their cornerback depth in the event that starter Christian Benford is unable to face the New England Patriots on December 14. The Bills designated veteran cornerback Dane Jackson as one of their two Week 15 gameday elevations.

On Thursday ahead of the huge AFC East game on Sunday, it appears the Bills (9-4) saw their top cornerback leave practice early because of a toe injury. On Buffalo's injury report that day, Benford was listed as limited after not being on the injury report on Wednesday.

Otherwise, the team’s injury report was largely the same as on Wednesday. Linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow), defensive end Joey Bosa (hamstring/wrist), offensive lineman Spencer Brown (shoulder), and receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) all remained limited.

Shortly after practice ended for the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, cornerback Christian Benford was spotted outside the locker room sporting a small walking boot on his left foot.

CB, better known as top Bills cornerback Christian Benford, was sent on a first-and-10 blitz, unblocked, and he had Burrow in his sights for a takedown. Rather than trying to scramble or take the sack, Burrow’s reaction was to loft the ball toward Ja’Marr Chase.

Stefon Diggs has been critical to the development of Drake Maye this season, just as he was for Josh Allen in Buffalo back in 2020.
