Left tackle Dion Dawkins was a full participant in practice after missing Wednesday's session with an illness. That should mean Dawkins is in his customary spot on Josh Allen's blind side when the Bills hit the field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins (illness) was upgraded to a full participant during Thursday's practice session. That is good news for the Bills after Dawkins sat out of practice to begin the week.

Thursday was a strong day for the Buffalo Bills as several members of the organization were selected as award finalists for the NFL Honors. Josh Allen is up for the Most Valuable Player award, Damar Hamlin is vying for Comeback Player of the Year, and offensive coordinator Joe Brady is up for the Assistant Coach of the Year award.

Dawkins was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an illness, but he appears to be over the issue as he participated in Thursday's session without restrictions. Barring any setbacks, Dawkins should serve as the Bills' starting left tackle in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs.

Linebacker Matt Milano's absence from the end of Sunday's victory over the Ravens was explained by Wednesday's injury report.
