Bills' Josh Allen, Dion Dawkins Leave Practice With Injuries
The injury bug has come for the Buffalo Bills, as quarterback Josh Allen and offensive lineman Dion Dawkins both left Monday's practice with injuries.
For Allen at least, there doesn't seem to be anything to worry about. According to those in attendance, Allen left with head athletic trainer Nate Breske but returned to the field less than 20 minutes later.
As for Dawkins, he reportedly left with a hand injury and did not return. Although he did not return to practice after the injury, he did come out to watch from the sidelines and was seen wearing a brace. His injury is also not believed to be serious, according to reports.
This wouldn't be the first injury Allen has fought through during training camp. On Tuesday, the star quarterback reportedly came up limping after a play during 11-on-11 drills. Some reporters noted that he may have gotten kicked during the play, thus causing the limp.
Allen facing injury is concerning, no matter how small it may be, but his offensive line catching the injury bug could be even worse. The Bills' offensive line had an overall solid campaign in 2022, only allowing 33 sacks, but also allowed three or more on four separate occasions. If Dawkins, who has been the team's starting left tackle since his rookie season in 2017, misses time, it could be a problem.
For now, though, it seems the Bills avoided any serious injuries with Allen and Dawkins.
