Knox (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Seattle.
Knox didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but he followed up the absence with a limited session Thursday before capping the week with full participation Friday. With fellow TE Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) also in the clear after an uncapped practice Friday, the Bills' top two options at the position will be available Sunday.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Knox (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Knox missed Wednesday's session, so his return to the field a day later has him moving in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Meanwhile, Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) was limited both days, which sets the stage for Friday's injury report to add valuable context with regard to the chances of the Bills' top two TEs playing this weekend.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Practices Thursday
Rotowire
Knox (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Knox missed Wednesday's session, but the tight end's return to the field a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. He presumably will need to practice fully by Friday, however, to head into the weekend minus an injury designation.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Not practicing
Rotowire
Knox missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury.
Knox appeared to have gotten hurt at one point in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans, but he nonetheless ended up playing 57 percent of snaps on offense. An absence this Sunday at Seattle likely would free up a few extra snaps for Dalton Kincaid, who was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a collarbone injury.

Bills' Dawson Knox: One grab in win
Rotowire
Knox caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
Knox played 31 of the Bills' 55 offensive snaps in the contest, continuing to fulfill No. 2 tight end duties behind starter Dalton Kincaid. With that said, Kincaid played just nine more snaps Sunday while seeing six targets from quarterback Josh Allen. The 27-year-old Knox remains off the fantasy radar, as his inconsistent production is extremely difficult to trust each week. The Bills will visit the Seahawks in Week 8.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Finds end zone in win
Rotowire
Knox caught his lone target for 12 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.
Knox's trip to the end zone was his first of the 2024 campaign, as the veteran tight end has taken a back seat to teammate Dalton Kincaid in the Bills passing attack. Through six games, the 27-year-old has recorded just four catches on six targets for 42 yards. As long as Kincaid is healthy, Knox cannot be trusted for consistent production in Buffalo. The Bills host the Titans in Week 7.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Not targeted in Week 5
Rotowire
Knox failed to record a single target in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Ravens.
Knox was held without a target for the second time this season. The veteran tight end continues to play behind teammate Dalton Kincaid, who saw six targets in the contest. Operating as the No. 2 tight end with minimal usage in the passing game, Knox can be safely left off of fantasy rosters heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Jets.

Bills' Dawson Knox: One grab against Ravens
Rotowire
Knox secured his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
Knox had a quiet day in Week 4 while fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid led the Bills in targets against the Ravens. The 27-year-old Knox played 27 of Buffalo's 59 offensive snaps, 10 fewer than Kincaid. Though the two tight ends are sharing playing time, Knox's smaller role in the passing game limits his fantasy potential. The veteran shouldn't be trusted for fantasy purposes barring an injury to Kincaid. The Bills will visit the Texans in Week 5.

Bills' Dawson Knox: One catch against Cardinals
Rotowire
Knox caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Knox operated as the No. 2 tight end behind Dalton Kincaid, but both tight ends finished the day with just two targets. The 27-year-old Knox was on the field for 58 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps, while Kincaid finished with a 84 percent snap share in the contest. The veteran will likely face an uphill battle for meaningful targets this season, keeping him off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Dolphins.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Returns from groin injury
Rotowire
Knox (groin) played in Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh and caught his lone target for a nine-yard gain.
Knox and Dalton Kincaid both started, alongside RB James Cook and WRs Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins. Kincaid was removed from the game after two snaps, and Knox didn't stay in much longer (six snaps) before handing things over to No. 3 TE Quintin Morris, who then left with a shoulder injury. Groin and ankle injuries have cost Knox some practice time this summer, but he's been available more often than not.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Knox (groin/ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
With Knox managing a pair of injury concerns, the tight end is a candidate to miss Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers. Knox logged nine snaps in Buffalo's exhibition opener against the Bears en route to logging one target. Once the regular season starts, the 2019 first-rounder is slated to maintain a role in the Bills offense as a blocker and pass catcher, but the continued presence of 2023 first-rounder Dalton Kincaid limits the fantasy upside of Knox when both players are available.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Knox (groin) returned to practice Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Knox's absence Sunday was chalked up to "groin/vet rest," and this would seem to confirm it's nothing serious. He should still have a role in the Buffalo offense as a regular blocker and occasional pass catcher, but he isn't likely to see as many targets as he did from 2019 to 2022 now that the Bills have 2023 first-round pick Dalton Kincaid at tight end.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Managing groin injury
Rotowire
Knox isn't practicing Sunday due to a groin issue, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Knox's absence is also denoted as "vet rest" on the team's injury report, but this is the first word of a groin issue. It's unclear if the veteran tight end's absence from Sunday's practice is precautionary or if he's going to miss additional time. Knox is slated to again cede most of the team's tight end pass-catching work to Dalton Kincaid during the coming campaign.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Agrees to restructure contract
Rotowire
Knox and the Bills have agreed to a restructured contract that lowers his scheduled $14.4 million cap hit for 2024, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The tight end is entering the second season of a four-year, $52 million extension that guarantees most of his money through 2024 but none thereafter. It's possible this agreement changes that, but if not, Knox's future with the team could come into question next offseason. His fantasy value has taken a big hit since the Bills drafted fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Disappointing fifth season
Rotowire
Knox finished the 2023 regular season with 22 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns over 12 games.
An injured wrist and subsequent surgery caused Knox to miss Weeks 8-12, and by that point, rookie phenom Dalton Kincaid was well on his way to usurping the No. 1 tight end spot. With Kincaid finishing with a 73-673-2 line and having three more years on his contract, Knox seems relegated to a No. 2 role entering next season. Knox is also a decent blocker, so while he should maintain an important role in the offense, it would take an injury to Kincaid for the former to have any meaningful value next season, even in a Josh Allen-led attack.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Ready to face Steelers
Rotowire
Knox (illness) doesn't carry a designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers.
An illness sidelined Knox for Thursday's practice, but the tight end's return to a full session Friday sets the stage for him to be available for Buffalo's playoff opener. With wideout Gabe Davis (knee) ruled out for the contest, Knox will have a chance to make his mark Sunday alongside fellow TE Dalton Kincaid and top WR Stefon Diggs, especially if inclement weather at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, according to Patrick Warren of the team's official site, results in a game plan that leans on the run and a less aggressive passing attack.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Back at practice
Rotowire
Knox (illness) returned to practice Friday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
An illness kept Knox from practicing Thursday, but the tight end's return to the field a day later has him trending toward being available for Sunday's playoff opener against the Steelers. The Bills' final injury report of the week will reveal whether Knox heads into the weekend with a designation or fully cleared for action.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Modest production since return
Rotowire
Knox caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Buffalo's 24-22 win over the Chargers on Saturday.
Knox was on the field for 46 percent of the offensive snaps compared to 40 percent for rookie teammate Dalton Kincaid, who also was targeted twice but caught just one ball for seven yards. With every game crucial for the Bills here on out and both tight ends healthy, it's becoming clear this is going to be a timeshare depending on the game situation and offensive formation. The offense is clicking, but there's also plenty of talent, and it's become tough to trust anyone on a weekly basis outside of Josh Allen, James Cook and Stefon Diggs, and even Diggs, the star, has struggled lately. Knox at least looks healthy after returning from a wrist injury three weeks ago, but he's totaled just five catches for 62 yards over that three-game span.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Not targeted in win
Rotowire
Knox failed to draw a single target in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.
Knox played 42 of the Bills' 64 offensive snaps, while rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) was on the field for 33 snaps. Neither tight end was able to record a reception in the contest, though Kincaid did see two targets out of Josh Allen's 15 passing attempts. If both Knox and Kincaid are healthy enough to play in Buffalo's Week 16 game against the Chargers on Saturday, they could limit one another's overall ceiling, though Kincaid profiles as the more intriguing fantasy option of the two.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Three grabs in return
Rotowire
Knox caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.
Rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) caught five passes on eight targets on the day, but Knox produces more yardage with his grabs in his first game action since Week 7. Kincaid left the game late in the fourth quarter, and the severity of his injury isn't yet clear, so while Knox had a modest role Sunday in his return from wrist surgery, he could be a bigger factor in Week 15 against the Cowboys.
