Buffalo Bills dismisses Cole Beasley

ORCHARD PARK, New York – The Buffalo Bills ruled out Cole Beasley receiving his Sunday against the Miami Dolphins as a result of a knee injury he suffered against the New England Patriots in Week 16.

Beasley, the team’s second receiver, left Buffalo’s win over New England at the end of the fourth quarter and did not return. Coach Sean McDermott called Beasley “week by week.” The Bills will host their first playoff game in 25 years next weekend.

In his second year with the Bills, Beasley has set career highs with 967 yards and 82 catches in 107 goals. Losing him for a long time would leave Buffalo without his top slot receiver, but the Bills activated wide receiver John Brown from the reserve list / COVID-19 on Friday.

The Houston Chronicle first reported that Buffalo will have to sign great receiver Kenny Stills once he clears the COVID-19 protocols, but McDermott felt the Bills’ interest in Stills was unrelated to Beasley’s injury.
