The Minnesota Vikings will host the Buffalo Bills in primetime in Week 9 as they play each other with a lot on the line. The Vikings lost their undefeated record in Week 8 to the Detroit Lions, so they will be looking to get back on track against arguably the best team in the NFL.

Both teams are dealing with a handful of injuries that could swing the matchup in one team's favor or the other. In this piece, we are discussing the status of Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins.

Is Dion Dawkins playing in Week 9?

Dion Dawkins missed practice all week and was still listed as questionable. He was ruled out before the game, and the result of his absence has been Brian Flores having his way with the Bills' offensive line. It could be a long night for Josh Allen and James Cook in the backfield without his presence.
