Buffalo Bills ' cornerback Maxwell Hairston is in line to make his NFL debut after missing the first seven weeks. Despite not playing at all, Bleacher Report writer Brent Sobleski has deemed Hairston a bust.

While some Buffalo Bills fans are hoping cornerback Maxwell Hairston can help solve the team's issues at the position upon his return from injury, head coach Sean McDermott is pumping the brakes on that notion.

Buffalo Bills HC Sean McDermott provided an update on the status of rookie first-round CB Maxwell Hairston ahead of the Bills' matchup with the Panthers.

The Buffalo Bills made three roster moves ahead of their Sunday matchup with the Carolina Panthers, but the biggest one was activating rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston from injured reserve. The team also elevated two veterans from its practice squad: safety Jordan Poyer and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips.

Five Bills players were listed as limited on Wednesday, including Matt Milano and Dalton Kincaid. Maxwell Hairston returned to practice for the first time this week.
