Bills Release Injury Update on CB Maxwell Hairston
During the game, Hairston was seen leaving the field and entering the blue medical tent for evaluation. Fortunately, he managed to walk to the locker room under his own power. However, his injury leaves the Buffalo Bills in a precarious situation regarding their cornerback depth.
Replacement and Team Impact
In Hairston’s absence, Tre’Davious White stepped in to fill the position. This injury is particularly concerning because the Bills have limited options available. Currently, only three cornerbacks are active on the roster: Christian Benford, White, and Hairston.
- Maxwell Hairston: Rookie CB, injured during the Jets game.
- Tre’Davious White: Replaced Hairston during the game.
- Christian Benford: Another active cornerback for the Bills.
Coach’s Concerns
Head coach Sean McDermott addressed the injury after the game, stating he did not have further updates on Hairston. He emphasized the team’s thin bench, indicating, “Didn’t have another corner to go to on the active roster.” This situation highlights the challenges the Bills face in maintaining defensive stability.
The team will need to monitor Hairston’s condition closely as they prepare for their next matchup, evaluating whether he can return to action or if additional roster adjustments are necessary.
