Bills enter Patriots matchup with Benford and Davis questionable
7 sourcesUpdated Oct 3, 2026
The Buffalo Bills enter their Week 4 game against the New England Patriots with cornerback Christian Benford and running back Ray Davis listed as questionable. Benford, who injured his toe against the Chargers, missed practice all week, but the team plans to assess him through game day; if he cannot play, Davison Igbinosun could step into the starting role. Davis is dealing with a hamstring injury and was limited in practice, potentially leaving Buffalo with less depth behind James Cook. Defensive lineman T.J. Sanders is listed as doubtful, while quarterback Josh Allen has no injury designation.

“Bills List Benford, Davis Questionable for Patriots”Sanders being doubtful adds pressure on the defensive line to hold up without extra depth.
Davis questionable with a hamstring means the run game could be limited unless they lean harder on Allen.
Benford's toe might keep him out and that would hurt the secondary coverage against the Patriots receivers.
