Brandon Codrington - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Contributes as return man Codrington recorded 306 kickoff-return yards and 313 punt-return yards in 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact The cornerback, who played more on special teams in general, also contributed nine tackles (eight solo) and a pass breakup. He did not suit up for any of the Bills' three playoff games. Codrington signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent last May before being traded to the Bills in late August.

Inactive for divisional round Codrington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Ravens.

Impact Codrington has been a core special-teamer for Buffalo this season, playing almost twice as many snaps on special teams (126) as on defense (64) this season. The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina Central logged nine tackles and one pass deflection over 17 regular-season appearances. With Codrington sidelined, expect Khalil Shakir and/or Ty Johnson to handle punt and kickoff-return duties.

Ready to rock Codrington (hamstring) was a full participant in Buffalo's walkthrough practice Wednesday.

Impact The North Carolina Central product was sidelined for the Bills' wild-card round win over the Broncos due to a hamstring injury. However, Wednesday's full practice estimation suggests he's recovered from the issue. With Codrington back at full health, he's expected to assume Buffalo's top return specialist duties for the divisional round matchup against the Ravens on Sunday night.

Not playing against Denver Codrington (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Codrington registered a DNP-LP-LP practice log this past week due to a hamstring injury, and it appears he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to play in Sunday's AFC wild-card game. He has been the Bills' primary returner on kickoffs and punts this season, and those duties will likely fall to Ty Johnson, Ray Davis and Mack Hollins due to Codrington's absence.

Questionable for Sunday Codrington (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Broncos.

Impact The 24-year-old corner appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's playoff contest, as he upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited sessions Thursday and Friday. Codrington has appeared in all 17 of the Bills' games this season, recording 306 kick return yards and 313 punt return yards. If he's unable to play through his hamstring injury in the wild-card round, Ty Johnson is expected to assume Buffalo's top return specialist duties.

Upgrades to limited practice Codrington (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Impact Codrington was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's walkthrough practice due to a hamstring injury, but his health is improving as Sunday's wild-card round game against the Broncos draws nearer. If cleared to face Denver, Codrington's greatest impact will stand to come in the return game, though he also handles a reserve role in Buffalo's secondary.

Logs DNP Codrington (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Codrington was unable to participate during the Bills' walkthrough practice Wednesday, after seemingly suffering the injury during Sunday's loss to the Patriots. The 24-year-old will work to get back on the field Thursday, ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Broncos. If he is unable to play, it likely won't impact Buffalo's defense, but they would have to turn elsewhere for a return man on special teams.
