Buffalo Bills Tight End Dawson Knox to Undergo Wrist Surgery; Return Timeline Uncertain

Knox's surgery adds to Buffalo Bills' growing injury toll; first-round pick Dalton Kincaid likely to step up in Knox's absence.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox will undergo wrist surgery and will be out indefinitely, exacerbating the Bills' string of recent injuries to key players.
The 26-year-old Knox has been dealing with a wrist injury since Week 5 of this season, and has struggled with drops and a career-worst average yards per catch over his first seven games.
First-round pick Dalton Kincaid is expected to replace Knox in the lineup and is coming off a career-best performance of eight catches for 75 yards, demonstrating more dynamic pass-catching abilities.
The Bills' game strategy may shift due to Knox's injury, resulting in fewer '12 personnel' two tight end play calls and an increase in '11 personnel' formations, likely giving time boosts to receivers Khalil Shakir, Deonte Harty, and Trent Sherfield.
Knox's injury could potentially impact the Bills' offensive performance in this season, coming at a time when the team is struggling, particularly during early stages of games.
