  • The team is conducting an evaluation of the severity of the player's injury.
  • The general manager confirmed support for Hairston after the allegations.

PICTFORD, New-York — Rookie cornerback of the Buffalo Bills, Maxwell Hairston, sustained an injury to his right knee during practice on Wednesday. The incident occurred during drills when players were trying to navigate around a cone and collide with a shield.

Hairston, selected in the draft with the 30th pick, left the field on his own, but did not return to practice. The team is conducting an evaluation of the severity of the injury.

The 21-year-old player, known for his speed, but whose physical attributes are considered relatively small for the position — he stands at 5 feet 11 inches and weighs 192 pounds. In the first week of practice, Hairston worked in tandem with veteran Tre'Davious White, who returned to the team for the entire season.

This injury has become the subject of allegations, which a woman claimed, accusing Hairston of sexual assault, which allegedly occurred when he was in college at the University of Kentucky. Hairston denies these allegations, and the general manager of the team confirmed support for the player.

The team is missing several players due to injuries, including some receivers, as well as starting safety Terence Bernard missing three practices due to injury.

The team will take a break in the middle of the week, and practice will resume on Thursday. On Friday, there will be a scrimmage match at the stadium of the team.
