Benford racked up seven tackles (six solo) and one interception during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Bills. Benford is flying under the radar as one of the best zone-coverage cornerbacks in the league, and his pairing with Rasul Douglas allowed the Bills to limit Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to 65 combined receiving yards Thursday. The 2022 sixth-round pick's tackle totals won't always be so high, but he'll have another favorable matchup on deck Week 3 versus Jacksonville.

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.

Benford is considered questionable to return to Monday's wild-card matchup with the Steelers due to a knee injury. There is no word on the severity of Benford's injury at this time. While he is sidelined, Siran Neal, Dane Jackson, Cam Lewis and Kaiir Elam are candidates to see extra snaps at cornerback.

Benford recorded a solo tackle, an interception and two pass deflections in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys. Benford was able to pick off Dak Prescott in the fourth quarter, securing his first interception of the season. The cornerback has produced 40 tackles, eight pass deflections and a forced fumble along with the interception over 12 games in his sophomore campaign with Buffalo.
