Bills tight end Dawson Knox will miss multiple weeks due to a broken hand (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). The Bills may opt to place Knox on short-term IR, allowing him to return after three missed games. 
Knox, somehow, completed a 2-point conversion pass with the broken hand against the Titans. That fact wasn’t lost on the play’s receiver — quarterback Josh Allen.
“Huge shoutout to Dawson,” Allen said (via ESPN.com). “I was trying to call the play off — I was shaking my hands at [offensive coordinator Brian Daboll] like, ‘Don’t call it, we can’t do it.’ And [Knox] looked at me and said, ‘I got it. I’ll get it to ya.’ So, to put your body on the line like that and grit through it, that was a big-time play and that’s awesome when a teammate is willing to do that, and that’s why we love him.”
Knox is in the midst of a career year with 21 catches for 286 yards and five scores through six games. Fortunately for the Bills, they have a Week 7 bye plus a cushy stretch in Weeks 8-10. If Knox can’t go against the Dolphins, Jaguars, or even the Jets, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
The genuine desire by these teammates not yo let each other down is a pleasure to see in our “ME” society
Hope he recovers quickly and continues to produce at a high level
Even if these types of gadget plays prove successful on occasion, is it really worth it to put a franchise QB at high risk of injury by sending him out to catch passes? The Patriots actually sent Brady out to catch a pass during a SB (incomplete) and had Tom been injured, there surely would have been a huge backlash directed at BB.
