The Bills have high hopes for cornerback Maxwell Hairston. However, he’s off to a tough start, according to a post on X by Alaina Getzenberg.

Hairston received help after the injury, according to a post on X by Jon Scott.

Hairston already had a setback, which included the filing of a civil court suit. The charge is for an alleged sexual assault. Hairston addressed the issue, according to espn.com. He said it occurred some time ago.

“This is something I've been dealing with since I was 17,” Hairston said. “It's been four years now, and I went through this whole process with the police.”

Furthermore, Hairston said a thorough investigation took place. Also, an exoneration followed, Hairston said.

“The University of Kentucky did a thorough investigation,” Hairston said. “I was exonerated from that, as well. And I volunteered to do multiple polygraphs 'cause I was determined to get my truth out there. I was an open book. I have two sisters that I love dearly. And I respect all females.”

Furthermore, Bills GM Brandon Beane said, “I think I reiterated that after the draft. It's frustrating.”

Also, Beane said the legal world is different.

“You can't sit there and say things back and forth,” he said. “You got to let it go. But this happened to this young man over four years ago. He took a polygraph test. This kid didn't run from anything.”
