Bills rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston dodged an injury scare but is expected to miss time with a sprained knee ligament.

Hairston, the 30th overall pick in the 2025 draft, did not finish Tuesday’s practice after being taken to the locker room with a knee injury. According to multiple reports, tests taken Tuesday revealed Hairston avoided a major injury and his ACL was found to be fully intact.

Hairston is competing for a significant role in the Buffalo secondary. He was the fastest player at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in the 40-yard dash (4.28 seconds) and general manager Brandon Beane said on draft night the Bills coveted Hairston because he gives the secondary “something we don’t have.”

NFL Network reported Hairston’s injury is a sprained lateral collateral ligament. Typical recovery time for a Grade 1 (mild) LCL sprain is 1 to 3 weeks.
