White and Benford back!? Good times at OBD. Both should be ready for Green Bay? Poyer too!....

[eball]

With Tre and Benford returning, we’re going to have an embarrassment of riches in the secondary.  I really hate it for Hyde that he’ll have to watch from the sidelines.

Benford never went on IR correct?

 

Can he play this week or too soon with the injury?

Probably too soon. That is a big cast on his hand.  My guess is he is back after the bye, same as Tre.

With all the injuries this year and league wide I'm starting to believe there's no such thing. But, having everyone healthy is definitely a good problem to have.

I think the Bills tend to manage injuries more conservatively and it is likely they want to bring Tre, Benford and Kumerow all back after the bye and get the team as close to 100% as possible heading into the long run of the season. It is possible that after the bye this team could have everyone who hadn’t suffered a long term injury back.

I'm guessing Benford will be back after the bye.  I checked, and Knox missed 2 games plus a bye week.

Correct. Yes he can play. McDermott said he expected him to miss a couple games “give or take”. So we are in the window but his hand still wrapped pretty well

? where are you seeing a big cast on his hand?  I see #47 in a red jersey, he is wearing two white gloves, may be some protective padding under one glove

Sorry, looked like a cast when I first saw it, but maybe just heavy padding?

21 day window ends Nov 1st so could be week after bye instead, believe that's the Jet game.

That's my thought.  Possibly a thin custom splint of heat moulded plastic protecting the palm and a big wad of padding to protect the suture line on the back of the hand from casual contact.

 

I think it's actually a very good sign that they didn't club it up.

[Doc]

I'd wrap it up extra too in practice.  And if that's the "extra," it's a good sign we might see him sooner than later.

Poyer in a red non-contact jersey seems like a big deal. Is it possible he doesn't play Sunday? We need him

Not sure we do "need" him for the game. For the back side of the season ? Yes , agreed !

 But sure would like him back if he is ready to go and no chance of slowing down his Full recovery

 Go Benford !

 Go Bills

He was not placed on IR. He had surgery about a week ago. It was his right hand. I could see vs Green Bay at the earliest.

I think they get Benford, Kumerow and possibly Tre all back after the bye week. Bills really need a bye week not only for the guys who are not playing but also for the guys that are playing through injuries. The week of rest will go a long way to getting this team as close to 100% as it can possibly be at this point. Poyer, Edumonds and Knox I would lean towards playing but it is possible that any combination of them may not play. Mac definitely looks like he will be back which is a boost.

Gotta think Benford returns vs. Packers, but man, it’d be a blessing to have him vs. Chiefs and get Elam off the field.
