‘Dion Dawkins’ snap count. The story of the week coming out of training camp centered on Dawkins recounting his harrowing experience with Covid-19. The gregarious left tackle was hospitalized for four days, during which he conceded he wasn’t sure if he would make it out. Thankfully, Dawkins’ condition has improved to the point he’s been back at practice. Coach Sean McDermott said Dawkins continues to make strides in his recovery, and the next step will be to get some snaps in a real game. McDermott said Dawkins will play against the Bears, but it remains to be seen how much. The Bills absolutely need Dawkins healthy in the regular season – entrusting rookie Spencer Brown to protect Josh Allen’s blind side is risky – so any work he gets against the Bears is another step in the right direction.’
