Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday that tight end Dawson Knox will undergo surgery on his injured wrist, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.

McDermott said that it is too soon to know how much time Knox will miss.

"I wish I could tell you," McDermott said. "Too early right now. The decision was just made to go ahead and get that done."

Knox, in his fifth season, initially injured his right wrist in the Bills' Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was then limited in practice leading up to the team's game vs. the New York Giants and played 75.4% of offensive snaps in the win. This past week, Knox was listed on the injury report but fully participated in all three practices and played 63.4% of offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots.

Knox, 26, has caught 15 passes for 102 yards and one touchdown this season. His role as a receiver has decreased with the addition of first-round pick Dalton Kincaid, although the team is fourth in the league in 12 personnel usage (31.2%), with part of the goal in drafting Kincaid being to get both players on the field at the same time. Last season the Bills ran 12 personnel on 11.9% of plays, the fifth-lowest rate.
