In a jaw-dropping twist just ahead of training camp, the Buffalo Bills have officially placed Pro Bowl left tackle Dion Dawkins and veteran kicker Tyler Bass on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list — and fans are panicking about what it means for the season ahead.
The news broke early this morning and sent shockwaves through the Bills Mafia community, as both Dawkins and Bass are considered key pillars of Buffalo’s roster. Dawkins has been a mainstay on the offensive line, protecting star quarterback Josh Allen’s blindside, while Bass has consistently delivered under pressure with his clutch kicking.
While the team hasn’t disclosed specific injury details, speculation is already swirling. Could this be lingering offseason issues? Or are there more serious concerns the team is keeping under wraps?
Social media erupted with reactions — some hopeful, others spiraling into full-blown anxiety. “We can’t afford this right now,” one fan wrote on X. “This season was supposed to be the season.”
The designation means Dawkins and Bass can still return to the field at any time before the regular season begins, but the timing couldn’t be worse. With training camp looming, their absence raises major questions about Buffalo’s depth, preparation, and immediate future.
One thing’s for sure — Bills fans will be watching closely and holding their breath. Will Dawkins and Bass bounce back in time, or is this the first crack in the armor of a team with Super Bowl hopes?
Stay tuned. The storm in Buffalo might just be getting started.
