Report: Bills WR Sammy Watkins (foot) could be sidelined for weeks
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is playing with severe discomfort in his surgically repaired foot with the possibility of him being shut down for a few weeks, reports the New York Daily News.
The diagnosis is dependent on how well Watkins' foot responds and if he can tolerate the pain.
Watkins had offseason surgery to repair a small break in one of the bones in his foot.
According to the report, X-rays were taken after the Bills lost 13–7 to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, but the results did not reveal a break and that the Bills have been told that surgery is not an option at this point.
Only in his third season, Watkins has been saddled with rib, ankle, calf, and hip injuries, but has only missed three games in his NFL career due to injury.
Watkins had four catches for 43 yards in the loss to the Ravens and has led the team in receiving yards each of the last two seasons.
The Bills next play the New York Jets (0-1) on Thursday night.
