‘If Benford can’t play, third-year cornerback Kaiir Elam, who the Bills drafted in the first round of the 2022 draft, could be next in line. Elam has struggled to earn a consistent role on the team, with starters Benford and veteran Rasul Douglas as Buffalo’s top boundary cornerbacks. Elam has been inactive five of the Bills’ last eight games. He played for an injured Douglas in Week 14 and 15, but went back to inactive the following week.’
