Buffalo Bills injuries

T Spencer Brown - back - OUT

UPDATE: Brown was downgrded to out early in the fourth quarter.

With the Bills trying to get something goin on offense after having to settle for field goals on their first two drives of the game, right tackle Spencer Brown was unable to get up off the field after a first-and-fifteen play. Brown looked to be grabbing at his back before finally walking off the field and heading to the medical tent. Tylan Grable replaced Brown.

S CJ Gardner-Johnson - knee

Gardner-Johnson had to ride running back Blake Corum to the ground on a 34-yard catch and run. The price was the Buffalo safety stayed prone on the field pointing at his knee and motioning for help. He eventually limped off the field and was replaced by Damar Hamlin.

CB Christian Benford - toe

Benford tried to break up a pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua. Not only did the Rams complete the pass, but Benford was shaken up and walked very gingerly to the sideline. Without Benford, the Bills will have to go with Maxwell Hairston and Davison Igbinosun on the corners. Benford was cleared to return just ahead of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter.

Injury Update: CB Christian Benford (toe) has been cleared to return.
