Bills List Rookie CB Maxwell Hairston as Unlikely for Wild Card After Ankle Injury

Buffalo enters the playoffs with thin cornerback depth following a week-to-week designation.

Overview

  • Hairston exited late in the Bills’ 35-8 win over the Jets with an ankle injury and was seen in a walking boot after the game.
  • Sean McDermott said Monday the rookie is unlikely to face the Jaguars and characterized his status as week-to-week.
  • McDermott explained that roster constraints and practice-squad elevation limits, along with losing Ja’Marcus Ingram, left Buffalo short on boundary corners and kept Hairston on the field.
  • Veteran Tre’Davious White is likely to take on a larger role at cornerback if Hairston is unavailable.
  • Buffalo is scheduling kicker tryouts after Matt Prater re-injured his quad and was labeled day-to-day.
