Bills star wide receiver Sammy Watkins is playing with severe discomfort in his surgically repaired foot, the Daily News has learned. X-rays taken after the Bills season-opening loss to the Ravens on Sunday did not reveal another break, according to a person familiar with the situation, but Watkins is far from out of the woods.

The feeling now is whether Watkins can manage the pain in his foot. There was a thought Sunday night that he could miss the rest of the season. Medical personnel have informed Watkins and the team that there is no surgical remedy for the issue at this time. It's possible, however, that Watkins could be shut down for several weeks, or possibly longer, depending on how his foot responds.




being injury prone is a thing

That team may be done.

This means I need Marvin Jones to be good the next three weeks and I need Josh Gordon to be all Josh Gordon-y when he comes back

Got lucky and won week 1... but this is not good news at all.

#Bills WR Sammy Watkins will likely have to play through pain this year. Nothing surgically to do. #Bills don’t plan on shutting him down.

It'll be probably be one of those where they keep playing him and then decide weeks later that they probably should have rested him.

- ok not done but could be shelved
-not shelved just pain management
-I'm all good
