Christian Benford has left the Buffalo Bills' Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Chargers with a toe injury. He was replaced by David Igbinosun. The first-year player had a pass breakup shortly after coming into the game and being tested.

Benford is questionable to return.

Benford had three tackles and one pass defended before leaving the game. The Bills' pass defense has been pretty stout, but they'll be tested going forward.

Dee Alford is the slot cornerback and in the event of another boundary CB injury, he would likely kick outside. Buffalo is suddenly thin at the position, as backup slot cornerback Jordan Hancock went to IR this week. The Bills called up Te'Cory Couch from the practice squad this week and he'd likely be in the slot.
