We have an AFC East battle out in New Jersey this Sunday between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets.
The Bills are coming off of a tough 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings to improve to 7-1, while the Jets have fallen to 2-7 and have lost 4 games in a row. Even though the Bills beat the Vikings on their own turf, it didn't come easy at all as Josh Allen and the Bills' offense saw just how great Minnesota's defense is.
Josh Allen overcame early challenges against Vikings with backup protection
Buffalo's win over Minnesota was impressive for many reasons, one of them being that Allen had backups in Tylan Grable and Austin Corbett on the left side of the line. Dion Dawkins and Alec Anderson were both ruled out for different injuries, and each of them are looking to get back on the field for Week 10.
However, while Dawkins and Anderson are slowly on pace to play in Week 10, the other side of the trenches took a step back according to the Buffalo Bills' PR team.
Bills' Thursday injury report shows wrong direction for RT Spencer Brown
In Thursday's practice, Dawkins, Anderson, and Connor McGovern remained limited with their injuries but they are still on the path to be playing on Sunday. However, right tackle Spencer Brown did not practice on Thursday despite being limited on Wednesday.
Brown has been dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered against the Vikings when James Cook was tackled and he landed on Brown's ankle. Brown was able to finish the game, but you could tell that he was in some discomfort.
Throughout his career, Brown has dealt with various injuries. Is he perfect at his position? Absolutely not. However, the offensive line performs at a high level when he's out there. He is a great run blocker and he does just enought to keep the pass rush from coming to take Allen down.
The Bills have one more practice before their Sunday showdown against the Jets. The hope is that Brown will atleast get back to being limited but if he does not practice again, his status could be up in the air going into the weekend.
Brown has already missed time in Week 8, but Tylan Grable stepped in and produced as best as he could against the Ravens. There's a chance that we could see Grable back out there at RT if Brown is not ready to go.
