Sean McDermott delivers discouraging injury update ahead of Bills playoff opener

In their regular-season finale, the Buffalo Bills did all they could to manage the roster’s health heading into the postseason. Most starters got some much-needed rest, but not every starter was fortunate enough to get the time off against the New York Jets.

One such example was first-round rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston, who injured his ankle late in the contest. Bills fans had hoped that Hairston would be good to go in next week’s playoff test against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but, unfortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters on Monday afternoon that Hairston is “unlikely to play” against the Jags in the Wild Card round.
