Christian Benford returns to practice as Bills prepare for Rams
Summary

The Buffalo Bills prepare for their Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams with important updates from their Week 5 injury report. Cornerback Christian Benford participated in limited practice after dealing with an ankle issue, while receiver DJ Moore and defensive tackle Ed Oliver did not practice. Backup safety Damar Hamlin stepped in as a nickel cornerback in a previous game due to a depleted secondary. The team's status is crucial as they assess Benford's ability to contribute, with the potential for A.J. Woods to be called up if needed. Joe Brady indicated that Moore's availability hinges on his ability to play despite a shoulder injury.
