The Buffalo Bills will be without both of their starting offensive tackles on Sunday against T.J. Watt and the host Pittsburgh Steelers, one week after quarterback Josh Allen was sacked a career-high eight times.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced on WGR 550 on Friday morning that Dion Dawkins (concussion) and Spencer Brown (shoulder) will be inactive versus the Steelers (6-5). Both players sustained their injuries during Buffalo’s 23-19 loss to the Houston Texans on Nov. 20.
Ryan Van Demark replaced Brown last week and likely will start at one of the offensive tackle spots on Sunday.
Tylan Grable could join Van Demark if he is activated from injured reserve. He has been sidelined throughout the season with a concussion.
Linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (elbow/knee) also have been ruled out of Sunday’s game for the Bills (7-4), per McDermott.
