Benford (toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns. Benford was sidelined for the Bills' Week 15 win over the Patriots due to a toe injury, but Friday's full practice session suggests he's since moved past the issue. Benford is a crucial part of Buffalo's secondary, recording 39 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and two interceptions in 12 appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to operate as the Bills' top boundary corner Sunday.

Benford (toe) is inactive for Sunday's tilt versus the Patriots. Benford popped up on the injury report with a toe issue Thursday and finished the week as a non-participant at practice Friday. Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, the injury isn't considered long term, but the Bills determined that Benford would have limited movement Sunday if he had suited up. Maxwell Hairston is getting a start at cornerback against New England in Benford's absence.

Benford (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Benford wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he then downgraded to limited practice activity Thursday and missed Friday's practice entirely, which may indicate that he's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game. He was spotted with a walking boot on his left foot Thursday. Rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston will stand to draw a start at cornerback if Benford can't play Sunday.

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

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