Bills HC Sean McDermott announced Monday that TE Tommy Sweeney has myocarditis and will miss the remainder of the season, per Marcel Louis-Jacques.
Sweeny had a stint on the COVID-19 list this year and myocarditis is one of the conditions related to infectious diseases like COVID-19.
Myocarditis is specifically inflammation of the heart muscle that can affect the heart muscle and its electrical system, reducing the heart’s ability to pump and causing abnormal heart rhythms.
Stevens, 25, is a former seventh-round pick of the Bills back in 2019. He’s currently in the second year of his four-year, $2.6 million contract.
In 2019, Sweeney appeared in six games for the Bills and caught eight passes for 114 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
