Bills Thursday injury report: Christian Benford returns

The Buffalo Bills' defensive backfield took another hit in Sunday’s loss, leaving the team scrambling for answers as they prepare for Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams. Cornerback Christian Benford returned to limited practice Thursday after an ankle issue, a positive sign for a unit that struggled to contain opposing receivers.

Meanwhile, star wide receiver DJ Moore remains out with a shoulder injury, raising questions about his availability for the Rams game. Backup cornerback Dee Alford is also sidelined with an unspecified injury, though rookie Te’Cory Couch—who has been practicing but was not seen by media—could step in if needed.

The Bills also signed cornerback A.J. Woods to the practice squad, adding another young option to a thin secondary.

On the offensive side, the absence of Moore, who has never missed a game in his career, could force rookie Skyler Bell into action if the veteran receiver remains inactive. Other notable absences include defensive tackle Ed Oliver (knee) and nose tackle T.J.

Sanders (illness), while several players, including linebacker Terrel Bernard and safety Damar Hamlin, practiced with restrictions due to injuries.
