Buffalo Bills Activate Young Cornerback From IR

The Buffalo Bills have been through a hellacious rollercoaster of a week, but now that Damar Hamlin seems to be through the worst of the incident that occurred on Monday,  they now turn their attention to the New England Patriots in Week 18 and the playoffs upcoming.

They've received some good news on the injury front ahead of this game too, as young rookie cornerback Christian Benford has officially been activated from Injured Reserve, and will be available to play in the Week 18 matchup that will have playoff implications for both teams.

The Bills defence has been heavily hit by injury all season long, but at the most important time, they seem to be getting healthy, and if Benford can be as good as he has been when healthy, this is a defence that can slow down any offence in the AFC.
