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.
