My guess is he is back after the bye, same as Tre. Found in suggestion box: Put a metal brace on hand under cast and hit KC top receiver Travis Kelce. Signed former Buffalo boy Gronk. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benford's hand can be protected with a cast. I think he'll play versus the Chiefs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be possible, but how effective would he really be. Normally you see d line or linebacker play through with a cast but not a DB that relies on good hands as a critical part of their play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This conversation about a brace or club, tells me someone doesn’t know what a Dback does as his hands are his weapons. It’s why there are certain positions where being a previous wrestler is a positive. It’s a fundamental in wrestling for hand fighting. You can’t do that wearing a brace. Keep him out until he’s healthy. Hopefully that’s GB as he’s already practicing and has over 2 weeks. He’s not playing Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunTim Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I strongly suspect that Benford will be allowed to fully recover, before he sees game-time again, barring emergencies. The Bills have shown consistently that this is their modus operandi regarding injuries. I for one, cant remember the last time a player was rushed back by this regime, post & non-COVID. Though I may well be wrong. I would guess, same as others above, that Benford will be back post the Bye week. Hope that made sense, slightly tipsy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Gilmore played half a year with a club on his hand. And pretty well for the Bills. Well besides tackling, haha. 6 hours ago, streetkings01 said: Remember when Gilmore played with a club?

Love that we don’t rush guys back, the players probably do too. Love that we have great facilities and medical staff. We are very deep too, let them heal. Surprised Gabe played on the bad ankle. Seems fine now though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which team, but I think it was the Bengals……they attacked him all game and couldn’t wrap up giving up big plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty shackleford Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Today's injury report shows Benford will be available. Could still be an inactive for Sunday, but it sounds like he has a good chance to be dressed. I'm assuming it will be more for insurance to dress him if someone goes down but won't see many snaps if he's still wearing the cast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
