Winners of the AFC East, the Buffalo Bills will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Wild Card game on Sunday.
Like any other team at this point in January, the Bills are dealing with some roster attrition. For the second day in a row, cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee), wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) and safety Taylor Rapp (calf) did not practice.
Tight end Dawson Knox and offensive tackle Dion Dawkins also sat out with illnesses. Dawkins is also dealing with a hand issue.

Dawkins started all 17 games for the Bills this season at left tackle, earning his third-straight Pro Bowl selection. It goes without saying Buffalo needs him to be able to suit up on Sunday.
As for Knox, he was limited to only 12 games played, contributing 22 receptions for 186 yards and two touchdowns. Knox has five receiving scores in eight playoff games so far in his career, so he’s established himself as a postseason weapon.
The Bills and Steelers will kick off at 1 p.m. ET Sunday on CBS.
