The Buffalo Bills are coming off a win against the Baltimore Ravens, but they could have some problems heading into their Monday night matchup against the Minnesota Vikings . Buffalo opened its practice week Thursday with several important players missing from the field, including offensive linemen Dion Dawkins and Alec Anderson.
The Bills have a lengthy injury report to manage, and losing multiple starters along the offensive line would be a concern against Minnesota's defense. Josh Allen is capable of making plays under pressure, but facing Brian Flores ' aggressive defensive scheme without a fully healthy offensive line could make his job much more difficult.

Flores is known for bringing pressure from different angles and keeping opposing quarterbacks guessing. The Vikings frequently use blitz packages to disrupt the pocket, which could create problems for an offensive line dealing with multiple injuries.
Dawkins and Anderson were not the only Bills players who missed Thursday's practice. Wide receiver Josh Palmer, running back Ty Johnson and defensive tackle Greg Gaines were out. Meanwhile, Dalton Kincaid, DJ Moore, Keon Coleman and Spencer Brown were among the players who were limited.
There are still several days before Buffalo travels to Minnesota, giving the team time to get some of its players back on the field. However, the Bills will need to monitor their offensive line closely, especially with the challenge Flores presents.
