WR Cole Beasley won’t play in pivotal AFC East clash
Slot wide receiver Cole Beasley tested positive and will miss Buffalo’s battle for first place in New England on Sunday afternoon. Beasley, who reportedly is not vaccinated, must quarantine for ten days before he can return to the team. It is a big blow for Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense, but Beasley is not the only Bill battling the virus. Like many teams around the league, the Bills are dealing with their fair share of COVID-19 cases. Guard Jon Feliciano recounts how he was forced to spend time in the emergency room due to COVID-19, while Buffalo placed defensive end A.J. Epenesa, left tackle Dion Dawkins, and linebacker Tyrel Dodson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
