Bills tight end Tommy Sweeney will miss the remainder of the season due to myocarditis, a heart condition that has been linked to COVID-19 infections, head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday.
Sweeney, 25, missed the entirety of training camp with a foot injury and has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list throughout the season. On Oct. 24, he was placed on the team's reserve/COVID-19 list after tight end Dawson Knox tested positive for COVID-19.
According to McDermott, Sweeney was looking to return to practice this week but the condition was discovered when Sweeney underwent a recent, NFL-mandated heart exam as part of COVID-19-return protocols.
