Buffalo Bills' Dawson Knox Back At Practice Following Death of Brother Luke
In this story:
Buffalo Bills standout Dawson Knox returned to practice on Tuesday while still mourning the passing of his brother, Luke Knox, 22.
Wrote Dawson on Twitter: "Thank you all for the outpouring of love and support for my family. Our hearts are broken but we know Luke is in a much better place now with his savior Jesus.''
Luke Knox was playing at Florida International University as a linebacker and a tight end after previously having played at Ole Miss player. Over the weekend, the Bills held a moment of silence to honor Luke ahead of this past Saturday's preseason game against the Denver Broncos at Highmark Stadium, a game that Buffalo won 42-15.
Dawson Knox, one of the game's best tight ends, returned to the Bills practice field Tuesday for the first time since he took a leave of absence from the team six days ago.
The Buffalo community has, not surprisingly, joined together to honor the life of Luke as per a report via WGRZ, Bills fans have over the course of the last week donated over $100,000 to the P.U.N.T. Pediatric Cancer Collaborative, a charity supported by Dawson Knox.
Luke Knox was found unresponsive in his dorm room by a teammate last Wednesday. Police have said they do not suspect foul play.
Likely inspired by the memory of his brother, Dawson Knox will work through the 2022 season - one the Bills hope will feature Super Bowl contention - while building on what he did last year. Dawson finished the 2021 regular season as the No. 2 scorer in the air for the Bills, recording nine touchdown receptions. He also contributed 49 catches for 587 yards.
