BOSTON -- Left tackle Dion Dawkins was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and is available to play in the Buffalo Bills' significant AFC East matchup against the New England Patriots.
Dawkins missed last week's game against the Carolina Panthers after being placed on the COVID-19 list. He previously had COVID-19 during the start of training camp and was hospitalized for four days, after just receiving his second vaccination shot.
Bills defensive tackle Star Lotulelei has been ruled out of Sunday's game due to personal reasons. His presence will be missed in stopping a Patriots offense that ran for all but three plays against the Bills just three weeks prior.
