Lands on COVID-19 list Dodson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Impact Dodson will need to produce back-to-back negative tests at least 24 hours apart or complete a 10-day quarantine before he is allowed to return to team facilities. With Dodson and A.J. Klein both potentially out Sunday due to COVID-19 protocols, Tyler Matakevich may be in line for an increased workload against the Panthers.

Activated off IR The Bills activated Dodson (hamstring) off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact The Bills are much healthier at linebacker compared to earlier this season, when Dodson had to be used in a pinch as a starter because several regulars were out. If he suits up Sunday night against the Steelers, he'll be used in a depth and special teams role. Dodson has not seen the field since Week 6 against the Chiefs.

Trending in right direction The Bills have designated Dodson (hamstring) to return to practice, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

Impact Dodson has missed the last five games while residing on IR with the hamstring injury, though he's now expected to return to practice this week. The Bills will have 21 days to activate the linebacker, and he could return to the lineup as early as Monday's game against the 49ers.

Moved to IR Dodson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Dodson has been receiving plenty of action lately with injuries hitting starters Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano, but with Edmunds playing again and Milano about to, Dodson's playing time was about to go down even without the injury. He'll now be forced out of action for at least a few weeks.

Won't face Jets Dodson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional contest against the Jets.

Impact Dodson couldn't practice in any capacity this week, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise to see him officially ruled out. On a more positive note for the Bills, Matt Milano (pectoral) is listed as questionable and appears to have a good shot at suiting up.

OCTOBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No practice yet this week Dodson, who suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's loss to the Chiefs, missed practice for the second straight day Thursday.

Impact Dodson seems like a long shot to return Sunday against the Jets, though at least the Bills could get starter Matt Milano back after the latter practiced on a limited basis the past two days.

Picks up hamstring injury Dodson is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury.

Impact The 22-year-old didn't have a tackle before exiting the contest with the injury. The return of Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) this week should mitigate the impact of Dodson's absence.

Big contributor in road win Dodson posted eight tackles and two passes defensed, and played all but one defensive snap in Buffalo's win over Miami in Week 2.

Impact The reserve linebacker started in the middle in place of starter Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) and certainly didn't disappoint. The coaches pointed out how well Dodson played, and he'll certainly be given the same role in Week 3 if Edmunds can't return from his injury. Even when the latter returns to action, Dodson has probably earned himself a few more looks in certain defensive packages.

Set to start Week 2 Dodson will pick up his first NFL start Week 2 against the Dolphins, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The Bills have a major mess at linebacker for Week 2, with their top two starters out in Matt Milano (hamstring) and Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder), while depth LB Del'Shawn Phillips (quad) has been ruled out as well. Dodson will take over Edmunds' middle linebacker spot, and while he may not see the field on every defensive snap as Edmunds typically does, don't be surprised if Dodson is one of the team's tackle leaders against Miami.
