- Benford was carted off to the locker room before halftime, raising concerns.

Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford suffered a wrist injury during the second quarter of the Week 9 game against the Minnesota Vikings. The injury occurred as Benford tackled Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson near the sideline.
Benford was subsequently carted off the field to the locker room before halftime, indicating a potentially serious issue. The team has listed him as questionable to return to the game.
This injury poses a significant challenge for the Bills, who entered Week 9 with the third-worst pass defense in the league. Benford's ability to contain top receivers like Jefferson was crucial, and his absence leaves a considerable gap in their secondary.
Maxwell Hairston is expected to fill in for Benford, with Davison Igbinosun on the other side. The team will be monitoring Benford's condition closely for further updates.
