Probably too soon. That is a big cast on his hand.  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.

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

Benford's hand can be protected with a cast.  I think he'll play versus the Chiefs.

Your takes are so bad

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.

Remember when Gilmore played with a club? Total nightmare!

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.

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.

What is he taking? You are making him sound like an incompetent thief.

If I recall correctly?  Stephen Gilmore played half a year with a club on his hand.  And pretty well for the Bills.  Well besides tackling, haha.

I thought he played ok?  I probably misremember.  We thought he couldn’t tackle, but, that was all the time.

I agree and agree about keeping him out till healthy.

Agreed.  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.

Gilmore definitely didn’t play well with the club……he played well with the cast. 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.

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.

Gilmore was never a good tackler.

He’s a former DPOY…..stop with the Gilmore hate! Gilmore was an above average tackler. He’s always had a low number of missed tackles in his career.

Like Dieon best way to beat him is to run right at him. 

Put me on ignore if you want.
