It appears that Buffalo Bills rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston has avoided serious injury, after initial outside observations feared the worst following a non-contact ailment on Tuesday, July 29. Hairston himself took to social media in the evening hours to give a general thanks to higher powers.
On Wednesday, July 30, Jordan Schultz shared a report claiming that Hairston’s injury was “believed to be a sprain, and he’s considered week-to-week.”
