Bills' Dee Alford: Questionable for Week 8
Alford (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Alford opened the week as a limited practice participant before sitting out of both Thursday's and Friday's session. He's working through a lingering ankle injury that he sustained in Week 4 against the Patriots, but despite the consecutive DNP's, the door has not been shut on Alford suiting up for Sunday's contest. C.J. Gardner-Johnson (suspension) is not available, so If Alford is also inactive, then more snaps in the secondary would be available for Damar Hamlin, Jalon Kilgore and Maxwell Hairston.

Per Lysowski, coach Joe Brady said Thursday that the ankle injury Alford sustained in Week 4 versus New England is not expected to be a long-term problem.

Bills' Dee Alford: Set to join Buffalo
Alford is in line to sign a three-year contract worth up to $21 million with the Bills, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports Monday.
Alford spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Falcons after signing with Atlanta as an undrafted free agent in 2022. Despite his lack of draft status, the Tusculum product turned into a steady starter for the Falcons and put together his strongest season in 2025, when he logged 67 tackles (55 solo), including 2.0 sacks, 13 pass defenses (three interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games. Assuming the deal is confirmed, Alford will likely serve as the Bills' slot corner, bolstering a secondary that includes young cornerbacks in Christian Benford, Dorian Strong (neck) and Maxwell Hairston (ankle), as well as safety Cole Bishop.
