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 people 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 fear on Sunday night that the wideout could miss the rest of the season. Medical personnel, including renowned foot specialist Robert Anderson, have advised Watkins against a surgical remedy for the issue at this time. It's possible, however, that Watkins could be shut down for several weeks — if not longer — depending on how his foot responds in the coming days.

The next course of action is really up to Watkins. What's his pain threshold? Nobody other than the receiver knows that, of course. Could he deal with the pain and/or soreness for the rest of the season and still be productive?

Watkins had four receptions for 43 yards against the Ravens.

Guarantee he plays, even if he's just in there as a decoy. The way Revis looked against AJ they'll want the Jets to at least have to game plan for Watkins even if he's not effective.

Revis is going to get lit up by Walter Powell and Greg Salas.

[Jetsfan80]

Rex will force Watkins into action, at the expense of his health for the remainder of the season.  Because this is his Super Bowl, after all.

[The Crusher]

Just a ploy to ge the Jets to think he is not playing.  Oh Rex, you!!!!

[Integrity28]

Interesting that Manish, and not a Bills beat writer, is breaking this story. I wonder if Rex is still feeding Manish tidbits... legit thinking this is to bait the coaching staff into leaving Revis in isolation on Watkins. LOL

Very Rex like....Playing with the media - when he should be focused on his team.

[nj meadowlands]

Sammy's a good player. Take the week, buddy. Rest up.  No rush.

[Integrity28]

Rapoport just reported that this is FALSE.

Rex and Mehta are bedfellows spreading filth.

[Integrity28]

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Bills do not plan to shut Sammy Watkins (foot) down.

As the New York Daily News' Manish Mehta reported Monday, Watkins is dealing with "severe discomfort" in his surgically-repaired foot, but there are no structural issues and no surgical options to relieve the pain. Watkins' week-to-week status will be determined by his ability to manage the discomfort, making it impossible to evaluate his fantasy value moving forward. With the Bills on a short week, Watkins is questionable at best for Thursday night.

... no he didn't.  Rapoport is tweeting that Watkins is hurting and will have to play through pain this year.

 

Not everything is a conspiracy.

"do not intend to shut down" means they don't plan on deactivating him in the long term.  His foot is still ****ed up and it looks like he's "AT BEST" a coin flip to play on Thursday.  My money is they sit him down for 1-2 games.

That he's not being "shut down" for any length of the season.

He will not play. Bank on it. He is hurting and has only 3 days rest on top of it. No way he plays.

This is what you get when you let Rex Ryan near your feet.  Sammy should have known not to let Rex touch his feet.

How can you call yourself a Jets Fan, and NOT know that Metah is full of sh*t. Watkins is going to play, and you should slow your roll when you see his name.

He will be a decoy

Revis will bounce back. Not every WR is AJ Green. He's probably the best WR out there. 

[southparkcpa]

Reminds me of the joke about the JETS fan who named their dog Revis.

Go to pet it and it backs up 10 yards.

please Sammy Twatkins, sit!

Cmon guys I had a bad game. That Dalton to Green combo is pretty lethal and I just didn't play well. You will see a new me against Rex and co.

[RMJK]

Revis will get safety help in the future or we're in for a long season.

[Miss Lonelyhearts]

At least this week the guy Revis is covering will be inactive too.

[dbatesman]

 

[NYs Stepchild]

Revis should be on an island with the #2 receiver each week, and we should high/low double the #1.

Revis is not shutting down #1s by himself, and he's not a zone corner. Bowles needs to learn this quickly.

Ted Gin blew by Revis. He still had one of his best seasons that year. But I get the Chicken Little dance.

Sammy was fine in the Raven's game. Tyrod still didn't throw any balls that traveled over 10 yards.

All Bowles has to do is go back and watch the defensive game plans for Kaep with Roman. This sh*te has been figured out.

Sorry all you Tyrod fans, but he's done for just like Kaep.

Rex Ryan: Sammy Watkins (foot) has a possibility of playing Thursday

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins could play Thursday night against the New York Jets despite soreness in his left foot, coach Rex Ryan said Monday.

Watkins told the team's medical staff after Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens that his surgically repaired foot was sore, prompting a report Monday from the New York Daily News that Watkins could be "shut down for several weeks" as a precaution.

"That's not what we're thinking right now," Ryan said of the possibility of sidelining Watkins for the Bills' upcoming games.

"Definitely going to be out there playing [against the Jets]," Watkins told ESPN.

"I'm doing fine. I'll be fine. Just was sore after the game. That's expected. Getting prepared for next week."

Ryan added that he is "confident that [Watkins] will be OK" despite the apparent setback in Watkins' recovery from a broken foot that required a procedure to repair in the spring.

"Hopefully he'll progress through the week and he'll be ready to roll," Ryan said Monday of the Bills' game Thursday against the Jets. The team will only hold walk-through practices before the contest, which will give little indication of Watkins' availability to play.

"I'm not in any pain," Watkins said. "It's not about the pain. It's about just being smart. I got it checked out and it was fine."

The Daily News reported Monday that doctors have advised Watkins against having a second surgery on his foot, and that "there was a fear on Sunday night that the wideout could miss the rest of the season" before doctors made the recommendation not to have surgery.

Asked Monday if the possibility of Watkins missing the entire season was "overboard," Ryan responded, "it seems like it."

When asked if there was concern the injury could get worse, Watkins said, "With these injuries, they get better as you go. The more reps, the more speed, the more you're feeling the injury out and mentally having faith and believing that it's healed, you get better. I've been progressing and getting better every day, so I don't feel like I'm having any setbacks.

"It's just all up to we being smart, treatment and doing the right thing."

Watkins, who was not listed on the injury report last week, played 42 snaps Sunday, catching four passes for a team-high 43 yards. He declined to speak to reporters after the game.

The Daily News reported that X-rays after the game did not show any broken bones in Watkins' foot and that doctors consider his availability in upcoming games to be a pain-management issue. Watkins, the fourth overall pick in 2014, has battled numerous injuries during his career. After missing offseason activities last year because of hip surgery, Watkins missed three regular-season games because of a calf injury and an ankle injury.
