Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has been ruled out of Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, coach Sean McDermott announced.
McDermott said Wednesday in an interview on WGR 550 that Knox had wrist surgery, although an updated timeline on his return to action has yet to be revealed.
The Bills (4-3) also ruled out tight end Quintin Morris (ankle) for Thursday’s game versus the visiting Bucs (3-3) in Orchard Park, N.Y. That leaves rookie Dalton Kincaid as the only available tight end currently on Buffalo’s 53-man roster.
Knox, 26, injured his wrist in Week 5 in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. He was a limited participant in practice all week leading up to Week 6 but was cleared to play and caught three passes for 17 yards in the 14-9 win over the New York Giants.
Kincaid, a first-round pick, had a team-high eight receptions for 75 yards last week in a 29-25 loss to the New England Patriots.
Kincaid, 24, is second on the team in receptions, catching 25 of his 27 targets.
Knox had one reception for 10 yards in Sunday’s loss at New England and has 15 catches for 102 yards and one touchdown through Buffalo’s first seven games this season.
McDermott also ruled out linebacker Baylon Spector (hamstring) for Thursday’s game.
The Bills will release a full injury report later on Wednesday.
