The Bills have placed their first-round rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston on injured reserve, and he will miss at least the first four games of the season.
Hairston sprained his LCL early in training camp, and will need a little more time to heal. He is expected to play a significant role upon his return to the lineup.
The No. 30 pick starred at the University of Kentucky, where he was a two-time second-team All-SEC selection. He played in 32 games for the Wildcats across three seasons, making 71 solo tackles and six interceptions—three of which were returned for touchdowns.
