Bills Thursday injury report: Christian Benford returns
Sundaywasn'ta great dayfor the Buffalo Bills on many levels. The scoreboardwasn'tfriendly, but neither was the fire.
We found out that DJ Moore is not Ironman after all, and the Bills ran out of cornerbacks before the game clock ran out of minutes. The result: back up safety Damar Hamlin entered the game atnickel.
We have a lot to watch this week as the Bills prepare to head west for their Monday night showdown with the Los Angeles Rams.
Here'swhat we know after day one of practice.

Benford practicing is going to be a big positive this week. Yes,he'snot been stellar, buthe'sbetter than whatever that was Buffalo was doing on Sunday. Ifhe'sunable to run, however, the Bills did signA.J. Woodsto their practice squad thisweek,giving themanotheryoungoptionat cornerback. Likewise, if Alfordcan'tgo, we could seeGeno Stonecalled up to help that very confused looking back seven.
On offense, the question will always be can Moore go. The29-year-old widereceiverthinks he'sIronman,and he never misses games - like seriously, never. And Joe Brady told us today that if Moore says he can go, he will be active. But if not - will we get to see rookie Skyler Bell wear a game day jersey this week?
