The Story in 60 Seconds

Buffalo Bills starting left tackle Dion Dawkins and starting left guard Alec Anderson missed practice for the second consecutive day on Friday. Their absences raise significant concern regarding their availability for Monday night's road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Dawkins is dealing with a rib issue, while Anderson is managing an ankle injury suffered in Week 8.

On a positive note, starting right tackle Spencer Brown practiced for the second straight day after missing Week 8 due to a back flare-up. If Dawkins and Anderson are sidelined, Tylan Grable and veteran Austin Corbett are candidates to step into the starting lineup against Minnesota's league-leading pass rush.
