BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins said he was hospitalized for four days while dealing with the COVID-19 virus.
The team's starting left tackle was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list before it's first training camp practice on July 28 and was activated on August 12. It was a harrowing stretch for Dawkins, 27, who called it "one of the lowest points that I've ever been."
"I never even thought I could get that low because I'm so animated," he said. "And that hit hard, even with the mental stuff -- it hit every part of me and I was shocked that it could even hit that.
