Buffalo Bills: 4 early storylines entering Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins
How does the absence of Dawson Knox impact this offense?
When considering the Buffalo Bills have players like Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders, and Cole Beasley, it is hard to imagine this being a big question for this offense at this point in the season. However, Dawson Knox has had a breakout season and has been a big part of this offense so far.
Unfortunately, he suffered a broken hand against the Tennessee Titans and Mike Garafolo reported he is “likely to miss three weeks.” This would have him miss this week and next week’s game if the timeline holds up.

The question for the coaching staff is how they replace Knox with a free agent or trade being an option this close to their next game. The Bills will likely turn to Tommy Sweeney as the replacement but do they utilize more four-wide receiver sets or give Sweeney the workload that Knox was receiving.
This will be one of the bigger storylines to watch on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
