Benford logged six tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, a pass deflection and a forced fumble during Buffalo's win over Detroit on Sunday. Benford had a dominant outing during Sunday's victory as he recorded the first sack of his career. The 24-year-old will look to build off this strong performance and keep producing during the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Patriots.
-
Benford finished with eight tackles (six solo) and two pass breakups in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. The cornerback set season highs in both categories. In total, Benford has 52 tackles (41 solo) and eight pass breakups, including an interception, on the year. He has also played on at least 85 percent of the defensive snaps in all 12 games he's suited up for this season.
-
Benford (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. After logging a full practice Wednesday, Benford was limited Thursday and Friday and was listed as questionable. Kaiir Elam and Ja'Marcus Ingram look to be next in line for snaps at cornerback for Buffalo.
-
Benford (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice. The second-year cornerback out of Villanova exited Buffalo's wild-card win over the Steelers after suffering a knee injury, and he's now begun the team's week of practice with two consecutive DNPs. Benford will almost certainly carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to practice in full Friday.
-
Benford (knee) was listed as a nonparticipant in Wednesday's walk-through practice. Benford injured his knee in Monday's 31-17 wild-card round win over the Steelers. Buffalo will host the Chiefs in the divisional round Sunday, and Benford could still avoid the injury report by returning to practice Thursday or Friday.
