Bills' Christian Benford: Officially listed as questionable
Benford (concussion/personal) did not practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs.
Benford remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, and after logging back-to-back limited practices he missed Friday's session for personal reasons. He'll need to gain full medical clearance, including from an independent neurologist, in order to be eligible for Sunday's road game against Kansas City. On a positive note for the Bills, fellow starting cornerback Taron Johnson (neck/shoulder) has been cleared to face the Chiefs, though safety Taylor Rapp (hip/back) is ruled out.

Bills' Christian Benford: Absent for personal reasons
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Benford (concussion/personal) will not practice due to personal reasons and remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
Benford already faces the task of gaining full clearance from the concussion protocol if he's going to suit up for Sunday's road AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, and a personal issue now adds an additional wrinkle to his potential availability. With Taylor Rapp (hip/back) ruled out to face Kansas City, it would be a notable boost for Buffalo's secondary if Benford does manage to take the field.

Bills' Christian Benford: Remains limited Thursday
Benford (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Benford entered concussion protocol following the Bills' divisional-round win against the Ravens. He's been a limited participant in the first two practices of the week, and he'll have to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. Benford has accumulated nine tackles (six solo) across Buffalo's two playoff games.

Bills' Christian Benford: Practices in limited fashion
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Benford practiced in a limited capacity and remains in the concussion protocol, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Benford is making progress as he works to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. The starting cornerback will need to gain full clearance from the protocol in order to be eligible to play Sunday, including from an independent neurologist. He's currently following a similar trajectory to Ray Davis, who sustained a concussion during Buffalo's wild-card win over Denver but gained clearance in time for the AFC Divisional Round.

Bills' Christian Benford: In concussion protocol
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Benford is in concussion protocol, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Despite being placed in the concussion protocol, Benford played 98 percent of the Bills' defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles in the divisional-round win over the Ravens. The third-year pro from Villanova has started all 17 games he's appeared in this season, making his potential absence a significant loss for Buffalo in the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. Benford must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to be eligible to play Sunday.

Bills' Christian Benford: Picks off Rodgers in Week 17
Benford finished Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets with two solo tackles and one interception.
Benford recorded his second interception of the season Sunday, when he jumped in front of an Aaron Rodgers pass intended for Allen Lazard midway through the fourth quarter. Benford's 24-yard return, coupled with an unnecessary roughness penalty on Rodgers, set the Bills up in Jets territory, and Buffalo capitalized on the good field position with a five-play drive that ended with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to Amari Cooper to extend the lead to 19 points. Benford is up to 64 tackles (50 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass defenses (including two interceptions), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery through 15 regular-season games. It's unclear how much work Benford and the rest of the Bills' defensive starters will see against the Patriots in Week 18 since Buffalo is locked into the No. 2 seed in the AFC heading into the playoffs.

Bills' Christian Benford: Practices in full Wednesday
Benford (wrist) was estimated as a full participant for Buffalo's walk-through practice Wednesday.
Benford sat out of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins with a wrist injury, but Wednesday's injury report bodes well for his chances of suiting up in Week 10. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, he'll probably be able to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Bills' Christian Benford: Questionable for Sunday
Benford (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
Benford began the Bills' week of practice as a full participant; however, he downgraded to limited work both Thursday and Friday, suggesting he could be trending toward not playing Sunday. If the third-year cornerback is unable to play in Week 9, expect Kaiir Elam and Ja'Marcus Ingram to see increased snaps with the Bills' first-team defense.

Bills' Christian Benford: Working through wrist injury
Benford (wrist) was a listed as a limited practice participant on the Bills' injury report Thursday.
Benford was a full practice participant Wednesday, but a wrist injury limited his participation during Thursday's session. Friday's injury report should shed light on the severity of the injury and his chances of playing against Miami on Sunday. If Benford cannot play, Cam Lewis figures to be the top candidate to start at corner alongside Rasul Douglas and safeties Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin.

Bills' Christian Benford: Tallies interception in TNF win
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.
