US EditionBills 1st-Round Pick CB Maxwell Hairston Being Evaluated After Hurting Right Leg in Practice
ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK, JUL 29 – Rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston suffered a lower-body injury amid multiple training camp setbacks for the Buffalo Bills, officials said as the team adjusts its roster.
- On Tuesday, Buffalo Bills rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston limped off during practice, aided by trainer Nate Breske, with an apparent right knee injury at St. John Fisher University.
- The Buffalo Bills have been battered by injuries during the first six days of training camp, with offensive positions most affected, including key players sidelined.
- About 50 minutes into practice, trainers focused on Hairston’s right knee after he went down flat on his back during individual drills at St. John Fisher University.
- After the injury, Hairston left the field visibly upset, walked to a medical tent on his own but did not return to practice, and the Bills have Wednesday off. Jackson said, "We said a prayer for him and we uplift him."
- They have an opening at the starting corner spot opposite Christian Benford, so veteran corners Dane Jackson and Ja'Marcus Ingram will step up, according to coach Joe Brady.
