Buffalo Bills First-Round Pick Sustains Potentially Serious Knee Injury at Training Camp

The Buffalo Bills have faced multiple injuries during the first week of their 2025 training camp, with rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston suffering a concerning right knee injury that required assistance off the field. Hairston, the Bills’ first-round pick known for his exceptional speed and coverage skills, is undergoing further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury, which did not result from contact. The injury is particularly troubling given Hairston's projected impact as a potential key defensive player for the Bills’ upcoming season and playoff aspirations. Despite a relatively strong prior season with a 13-4 record and a potent offense led by Josh Allen, the team is now grappling with an expanding injury list that includes several other players with minor ailments. Coaches and fans alike hope Hairston will recover swiftly to contribute to the Bills’ pursuit of a Super Bowl run. The team continues preparations at their camp in St. John Fisher University, with the Return of Blue & Red scrimmage scheduled to take place at Highmark Stadium.
