Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is coming off a productive season in which he demonstrated his importance in Josh Allen's offense. The 26-year-old tight end was the 96th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and signed a four-year, $52 million contract extension last year.
Knox was recently injured during the team's minicamp and didn't participate in the last few days. He was involved in a collision that injured his left leg. This was a concerning sign for fantasy managers and Bills fans who have high expectations for the tight end.
Here we discuss how serious Knox's injury is, and the impact of it for fantasy managers.
Will Dawson Knox be healthy for training camp?
Dawson Knox has provided an optimistic update, stating that the injury sustained during the minicamp was "very minor." He'll be ready to go to training camp next month, where the Buffalo Bills hope to get ready for a big season. There has also been ongoing drama surrounding Stefon Diggs, which the franchise hopes to resolve soon.
Last season, the Bills were defeated in the AFC Divisional Round by the Cincinnati Bengals, which was a disappointing result for them. They are once again Super Bowl contenders and will hope that their star players will remain healthy throughout the offseason.
Dawson Knox will play alongside an elite tight end next season
Josh Allen has another weapon to work with in offense, and Dawson Knox has got an elite player around him at the tight end position. The Bills drafted Dalton Kincaid with the 25th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he will play a huge role next season.
Last season, Knox had 48 catches for 517 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games. He missed one game due to a hamstring strain. It's likely that the Bills tight end will receive fewer touches than last season, but he still remains a red-zone threat for his team.
