Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott doesn’t put players on blast in the media unless it’s to send a message, and the one he sent to his team on Sunday should ring loud and clear; get vaccinated and follow the protocols.
Starting left tackle Dion Dawkins missed the first three weeks of training camp on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive before the opening of camp. Dawkins, along with Ike Boettger both tested positive and general manager Brandon Beane said at his opening press conference that one was vaccinated and one wasn’t. Boettger returned in Week 2 of camp and started the preseason game on Friday night, the day after Dawkins was cleared to return.
