Dawkins and Anderson inactive as Bills face Vikings
Tylan Grable and Austin Corbett are expected to start on Buffalo’s offensive line, while Carson Wentz replaces Kyler Murray for Minnesota.
Buffalo will face Minnesota without two offensive line starters in the matchup closing Week 9. Left tackle Dion Dawkins and left guard Alec Anderson were declared inactive after entering the contest with questionable designations.
Dawkins sat out the entire practice week with a ribs injury. An ankle injury kept Anderson out of practice Thursday and Friday, followed by limited participation Saturday. Buffalo is expected to use Tylan Grable at left tackle and Austin Corbett at left guard.
For Minnesota, a hamstring injury has ruled out quarterback Kyler Murray, leaving Carson Wentz to start. Odell Beckham Jr. is available after being added to the 53-man roster.
Minnesota also listed receiver Jauan Jennings, defensive lineman Caleb Banks, cornerback Chuck Demmings and safeties Theo Jackson and Jakobe Thomas as inactive.
The other Buffalo players unavailable for the game are defensive tackle Greg Gaines, outside linebacker Mike Danna, safety Jalon Kilgore and receiver Skyler Bell.
