US EditionBills Will Be without Both Starting OTs Dion Dawkins, Spencer Brown vs. Steelers
Buffalo Bills will start largely inexperienced tackles against a Steelers defense ranked third in quarterback pressure, facing All-Pro edge rusher T.J. Watt in a key AFC game.
- The Buffalo Bills confirmed on Friday that starting left tackle Dion Dawkins and right tackle Spencer Brown won't play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, leaving Josh Allen without his two primary outside blockers.
- Dawkins is sidelined after entering the NFL concussion protocol, while Spencer Brown is out with a right shoulder injury sustained in a 23-19 loss at Houston on Nov. 20.
- Bills coach Sean McDermott said he'll likely start 27-year-old swing tackle Ryan Van Demark and either second-year tackle Tylan Grable or rookie Chase Lundt, with Grable opening a 21-day practice window and Lundt having no NFL snaps.
- The Steelers' pass rush will test Buffalo's backups as T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Nick Herbig face an inexperienced tackle group with a 46% pass rush win rate, after Josh Allen was sacked eight times last game.
- Holding the AFC's seventh spot, Buffalo needs a win as its offense has scored fewer than 20 points in three road losses, possibly expanding roles for Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman.
