News

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Knox (calf) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday after testing positive, the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Knox was already going to miss Sunday's game against the Jets due to his calf injury, so perhaps the bigger issue is that the team's tight end room is almost completely depleted, as fellow tight ends Lee Smith, Tommy Sweeney (currently on PUP list), and practice squad player Nate Becker have been defined to have been in close contact with Knox. They have all been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and cannot take Knox's place in Sunday's game.

  • Will miss Week 7

    Knox (calf) has been declared out for Sunday's game at the Jets, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Knox's absence for Week 7 was fully expected after he failed to practice Wednesday through Friday. Tyler Kroft will get a few extra looks in the passing game this weekend, while Knox will set his sights on returning for a big Week 8 contest against the Patriots.

  • Misses Thursday's session

    Knox (calf) was unable to practice Thursday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Knox was ruled out pretty early ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs and hasn't been able to practice in any capacity this week. Unless he's able to make a surprise return to practice Friday, expect him to be ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jets.

  • Still not practicing

    Knox (calf) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Knox hasn't practiced since sustaining his calf injury in the Bills' Week 5 loss to the TItans. He'll need to heal up in a hurry to have a chance to suit up Sunday against the Jets. Tyler Kroft is set to serve as Buffalo's top tight end if Knox sits out again.

  • Out for Week 6

    Knox (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chiefs, the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Knox was never much of an option to play after leaving Tuesday's game against the Titans and not practicing all week.

  • Another DNP

    Knox (calf) did not practice for the second straight day Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: While the Bills' starting tight end has the benefit of an extra day this week given the Monday night matchup, his status is looking very much in doubt at this stage. Tyler Kroft isn't a bad pickup in deeper formats if Knox does get officially ruled out.

  • Misses practice Thursday

    Knox (calf) won't practice Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Knox was forced out of this past Tuesday's loss to the Titans, and his non-participation in Thursday's jog-through suggests that he's not a lock to play Monday against the Chiefs. If he's out or limited Week 6, Tyler Kroft would be in line to see added pass-catching opportunities versus Kansas City.

  • Injures calf Tuesday

    Knox was forced out of Tuesday's game versus the Titans with a calf injury.

    Analysis: Knox left the game in the second half after catching one of three targets for 15 yards. Tyler Kroft should handle a hefty workload the rest of the game since he's the Bills' only remaining tight end.

  • Low production in return

    Knox caught two of three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's win in Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Knox only played 48 percent of the offensive snaps after missing Week 3 with a concussion. Backup Tyler Kroft was on the field for 33 percent of those snaps and was also targeted three times, hauling in just one for 12 yards. Knox remains the starter and is the more talented player, but with Buffalo's wide receivers playing so well -- not to mention running back Devin Singletary's involvement in the passing game -- the tight end could be a hit-or-miss option for much of the season.

  • Seemingly over concussion problem

    Knox (concussion) practiced fully for the second straight day Thursday.

    Analysis: Knox missed last week's game against the Rams, but he looks like a good bet to resume his starting role this week against the Raiders. It's at least worth noting that Tyler Kroft caught two TD passes in Knox's absence in Week 3, so while Knox is still the starter and more athletic player, it may not be that easy for the Bills to take Kroft completely out of the game plan right away.

  • Back to work

    Knox (concussion) is listed as a full participant for Wednesday's practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Though Knox looks like he'll take all the reps in Wednesday's practice, he hasn't necessarily cleared the NFL's concussion protocol just yet. That said, the fact that he's beginning the week on the field is a good sign with regard to his chances of being available in Sunday's game against the Raiders. Even if Knox gets the green light to play this weekend, he may have to fight to earn some looks in the passing game after Buffalo's other tight ends combined for three touchdown receptions from…read more

  • Won't play Sunday

    Knox (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old suffered the concussion during last Sunday's win over the Dolphins and has been unable to practice this week. Knox remains in the concussion protocol and will need to fully clear it before returning to game action. Tyler Kroft is without a catch through two games this season but is likely to start at tight end for the Bills in Week 3.

  • Absent from practice

    Knox (concussion) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Knox remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and hasn't been on the field for either of the Bills' first two practices of Week 3. Unless he's cleared to take some contact at practice Friday, Knox currently looks to be trending toward an absence in Sunday's game against the Rams. Tyler Kroft, who played 51 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over Miami without drawing a target, would be in line to start at tight end Sunday if Knox is inactive.

  • Sits out Wednesday

    Knox (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Knox starts his week off as a spectator after suffering a concussion in last week's win over the Dolphins. The tight end will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to play in Sunday's game against the Rams. Knox's potential absence would leave the Bills with Tyler Kroft and Reggie Gilliam at the position Week 3.

  • Suffers concussion Sunday

    Knox won't return to Sunday's game versus the Dolphins after suffering a concussion.

    Analysis: Knox reeled in a 38-yard reception before leaving the game and entering concussion protocol. Tyler Kroft and Reggie Gilliam will handle the reps at tight end for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

  • Low volume in win

    Knox caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The good news is that Knox received two red-zone looks and played 64 percent of the offensive snaps while no other Bills tight end saw more than five percent. He'll have a chance to make more of a dent on the scoresheet against the Dolphins in Week 2, though with Stefon Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley, Devin Singletary and Zack Moss all in the fold and quarterback Josh Allen still looking for opportunities to run the ball himself, it's going to be difficult for Knox to see his production…read more

  • Team's top tight end

    Knox is listed as the first tight end on the first unofficial depth chart the Bills released Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The Bills may not come out with an "official" depth chart ahead of Week 1, but it's clear Knox is expected to get the biggest share of tight end snaps for now, with Tyler Kroft and blocking specialist Lee Smith working behind him. Knox has the ability to build off his 28-388-2 line from his rookie season, but at the same time, he's got a now-healthy Kroft to share reps with, not to mention a new star wideout in Stefon Diggs in the mix.

  • Impressing OC

    Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has been impressed with how Knox and tight ends coach Rob Boras have worked together so far in training camp."Dawson has done a really good job," Daboll told Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site this week. So Rob [Boras] does a good job meeting extra with them. He's a young player still, really young. Hopefully we get more out of him this year. I know he's working hard to do that."

    Analysis: Knox will be competing with veteran Tyler Kroft for looks in the Buffalo offense. Knox, a second-year player, has the better athletic skills and more upside, so we'll see if he can keep chugging along the learning curve and take the top job to himself instead of having to share it with Kroft.

  • Ready to go in Year 2

    Knox has been working through drills this offseason that will help him reduce his number of dropped passes in 2020, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports. "I think a big piece of it is going to be his availability and his consistency," head coach Sean McDermott said this week. "Sometimes what you see the first year is the lack of at times consistency, and I think Dawson is aware of that and he's committed to developing to the point where that becomes a strength of his and we're here to help him with it."

    Analysis: Knox had the NFL's worst drop rate (12 percent) among tight end qualifiers in 2019, and his 56 percent catch rate was also remarkably low. Even so, those figures alone don't indicate that Dawson turned in a bad rookie season. To the contrary, he filled a major hole after starter Tyler Kroft suffered a broken foot before the season. Knox finished with a 28-388-2 line, far better than most preseason projections put him down for. He will likely be competing with Kroft -- who returned toward the…read more

  • Strong rookie season

    Knox caught 28 of 50 targets for 388 yards and two scores during his rookie campaign.

    Analysis: Knox was picked in the third round as more of a project type and had been expected to serve as the backup to free-agent signee Tyler Kroft, but Kroft struggled with injuries and Knox ended becoming the starter for much of the season. While the Mississippi product struggled a bit with drops, he also showed a knack for big plays and an ability to rumble for yards after the catch. Kroft is healthy again, but Knox offers more upside and (for now) a better rapport with quarterback Josh Allen, so…read more

  • Won't play in Week 17

    Knox (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: As is running back Devin Singletary, as well as wide receivers John Brown and Cole Beasley, with the Bills resting several key players Sunday due to their playoff seeding being locked in.

  • Misses paydirt by a whisker

    Knox caught just one of his four targets for 33 yards during Saturday's loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Knox caught what looked like a TD on a beautiful throw from Josh Allen, but he was ruled down just outside the goal line, where Allen then threw a short TD pass to left tackle Dion Dawkins of all people. That turned a nice outing for Knox into his usual modest one, as he's now caught exactly one ball in each of the last three games.

  • Quiet once again

    Knox caught his only target for 11 yards during Sunday's win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Veteran Tyler Kroft had the big tight end catch, a go-ahead touchdown that in essence vaulted the Bills into the playoffs, while Knox's role was modest all evening. Knox was on the field for 48 percent of the offensive snaps (his lowest since Week 8) to Kroft's 29 percent, but the Bills and their up-and-down offense continue to spread it around too much for the rookie to offer any kind of consistent production.

  • One catch, chunk yardage

    Knox caught just one of four targets for 37 yards during Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Surprisingly, the 37 yards led the team, which shows just how much the Baltimore defense stifled the Buffalo passing attack all day. Knox dropped one key pass, but made up for it with a doozy of a catch that was pretty much a one-handed snag for big yardage. The rookie continues to have long-term appeal, but the modest yardage was his high in the last four games, while Knox is maintaining a pattern of catching between one and four balls in every game this season, save for a shutout in Week 8.

  • Quiet day while Beasley shines

    Knox brought in three of four targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 26-15 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Aside from John Brown's touchdown pass, no receiver or tight end did much of note Thanksgiving Day besides Cole Beasley, who piled up 110 yards and a score against his former team. Knox was targeted on a couple of other plays involving penalties that didn't show up on the stat sheet, while Tyler Kroft wasn't even looked at in the passing game and saw just 18 percent of the offensive snaps compared to Knox's 78 percent. There's probably one big game down the stretch where the plan will center…read more

  • Little involvement Week 12

    Knox caught both of his targets for 11 yards during Sunday's win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: The Bills ran all over the Broncos and didn't need to attack downfield much, instead handing the ball frequently to Devin Singletary and Frank Gore (36 carries between them) while sprinkling in short underneath passes to Cole Beasley. Knox did see 78 percent of the offensive snaps to Tyler Kroft's 31, so it's clear he's become the starting tight end even with Kroft back to full health. That said, this is an offense that hasn't produced a 300-yard passer for an eye-popping 44 straight games, so…read more

  • Scores second touchdown of season

    Knox caught two of three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-20 win over Miami.

    Analysis: Knox made his mark just before halftime, catching a pass over the middle and slipping a tackle for a 23-yard touchdown. The rookie has been impressive at times this season in averaging 14.0 yards per catch, but probably isn't consistent enough -- even on an offense lacking many other weapons in the passing game -- to count on week to week. Next up is a stingy Denver pass defense.

  • No injury tag for Week 11

    Knox (knee) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: As expected, the issue turned out to be a minor one for the rookie, and he should be full-go for this week's contest as the Bills try to maintain the top wild-card spot in the playoff chase. While a finally healthy Tyler Kroft may take away some of Knox's targets, it didn't play out that way last week when Knox posted season highs in receptions (four) and targets (six). Until Kroft starts getting more involved, Knox can be considered the team's top fantasy tight end, albeit in an inconsistent…read more

  • Back at practice

    Knox (knee) returned to practice Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Some minor knee soreness caused the tight end to sit out Thursday's practice, but Knox's return to the field Friday suggests that he'll be a go Sunday against the Dolphins. The Bills' final injury report of the week figures to either list Knox as questionable for the contest, or clear him fully.

  • Minor knee issue

    Knox missed practice Thursday due to a sore knee, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Sean McDermott expects the rookie back at practice Friday, though we'll see if that comes into fruition when the team hits the field for its last session prior to Sunday's divisional showdown in Miami. Given that Knox practiced Wednesday and his coach is downplaying the issue, it sounds like there's still a good chance Knox will suit up for Week 11.

  • Logs 55 receiving yards

    Knox caught four of six targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Knox tied for second on the team in receptions while finishing third in targets and receiving yards. This was an encouraging performance for the rookie, who had totaled just 48 yards over the last four games. Knox should remain an inconsistent option most weeks but could have opportunities to produce next Sunday against the Dolphins.

  • Outsnaps Kroft

    Knox caught both of his targets for 14 yards during Sunday's win over Washington.

    Analysis: Despite the lousy production, one takeaway is that the rookie saw 76 percent of the offensive snaps while Tyler Kroft -- supposedly the starter once he got back to full health and game speed -- only saw 26 percent of the action. Neither tight end did much, however, and Knox has only caught four balls for 36 yards in total in the three games Kroft has played since returning from an ankle injury.
