ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills will be without two additional key offensive players this week, adding wide receiver Gabriel Davis and offensive lineman Cody Ford to the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Davis is unvaccinated, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and will be out Sunday vs. the New England Patriots (1 p.m. ET, CBS). Wide receiver Cole Beasley is also unvaccinated and will miss the game after being placed on the list earlier in the week.
Practice squad offensive lineman Bobby Hart is coming off the list Friday. Defensive line coach Eric Washington and special teams coordinator Heath Farwell have also been added to COVID protocols.
The Bills now have a total of eight players on the COVID-19 list, including three offensive lineman, with guard Jon Feliciano and left tackle Dion Dawkins also on the list. Ford was set to take one of the guard spots Sunday.
A boost to the Bills’ wide receiver group will be the likely return of Emmanuel Sanders, who missed last week with a knee sprain.
Davis has four touchdowns in the last three games and has become the clear No. 2 receiver behind Stefon Diggs. For the season, Davis has 29 receptions for 470 yards and six touchdowns. He is averaging 16.2 yards per reception.
