The Buffalo Bills activated Dion Dawkins from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. It’s a Christmas present for QB Josh Allen, who was facing the possibility of using his eighth or ninth offensive lineman against the New England Patriots.
With Dawkins back, the Bills should be able to insert a realistic top five of Dawkins, Ike Boettger, Mitch Morse, Daryl Williams, and Spencer Brown on the offensive line from left to right. With reserves and call ups, the Bills should have a reasonable amount of protection. The Bills placed offensive linemen Jon Feliciano and Cody Ford on the COVID list this week, but Dawkins being activated should alleviate the problems from that.
