Dawkins (ribs) is inactive for Monday's game against the Vikings.
Dawkins injured his ribs in the Week 8 win over the Ravens and didn't practice during the week ahead of Monday's meeting with Minnesota. While the veteran carried a questionable tag, suggesting there was a chance he would suit up, he won't be on the field, meaning Josh Allen will be without his top protector.

Bills' Dion Dawkins: Deemed questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Dawkins (ribs) is officially questionable to suit up against the Vikings in Week 9.
Dawkins didn't practice at all this week due to an injury to his ribs, but he still has a chance to suit up. Per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, the veteran tackle was hurt in the first half of last Sunday's win over Baltimore but was able to finish out the contest. Dawkins said he'll do everything he can to be ready for Monday Night Football, so he may be a true gametime decision.
Dawkins has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will be available for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Dawkins was a full participant in Friday's practice, and after being cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist, the veteran offensive lineman has been given the green light to play Sunday. With Dawkins back at left tackle, Ryan Van Demark will revert to a depth role on the offensive line.

Rotowire
Dawkins (concussion) will practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
The 31-year-old was sidelined for Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers after sustaining a concussion the game prior. Dawkins still needs to clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. If he's unable to do so, Ryan Van Demark will likely start at left tackle.
Dawkins (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Dawkins opened Buffalo's week of practice with back-to-back DNPs after sustaining a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Texans, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. With Dawkins and Spencer Brown (shoulder) both out for Week 13, the Bills are expected to start Ryan Van Demark and Chase Lundt at left and right tackle, respectively.
