Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR 550) - Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox will require wrist surgery, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
Knox has been dealing with the injury for a couple of weeks, but McDermott said the decision was made on Monday, a day after the team's 29-25 loss to the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
McDermott says it's too early to tell how much time Knox would miss.
The 26-year-old was involved in a critical play on Sunday when he was able to get his hands on a ball thrown to him on fourth down. However, it was knocked free by a Patriots defender before he was able to secure it, causing the Bills offense to turn the ball over on downs.
