Benjamin immediately grabbed his knee after being hit and was ruled out for the rest of the game after being carted off the field.
In two games with the Bills this season Benjamin has yet to hit his stride in the offence, catching four passes for 62 yards.
The good news for Bills fans is that Benjamin didn’t hurt the same knee in which he tore his ACL in 2015 and did not suffer ligament damage, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
MRI showed Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin did not tear his ACL, per source. Could miss a little time but not considered long-term injury.

It’s not yet know if Benjamin will be available to play on Sunday against the Chiefs and it might not matter who starts at QB, if their top target in the passing game is not available to suit up on the road.
