October 26, 2025 – The Buffalo Bills are getting healthier as they head into their Week 8 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston, who was the Bills’ first-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft (30th overall), is set to make his debut after being sidelined due to an LCL sprain in his right knee sustained during training camp in July.
Hairston’s return provides a boost to Buffalo’s secondary as they aim to strengthen their defense. Alongside Hairston, tight end Dalton Kincaid is also back in action after recovering from an injury. Both players will be pivotal as the Bills look to bounce back following their bye week.
