As the Bills hope to improve on their 2-0 start, their two starting receivers are dealing with injuries.
For Sammy Watkins, the ribs he injured in the preseason continue to be an issue. For Robert Woods, an ankle injury could knock him out of Sunday’s game against the Chargers.
“I’m feeling pretty good,” Watkins said. “Just day-by-day it gets better. I’ve just have to keep working and keep getting treatment. . . . I’ve just got to keep continuing to gain confidence on the field and fight through the pains I have to fight through and just keep playing hard.”
Watkins said he doesn’t know how long he’ll keep dealing with the rib pain.
“It’s a nagging injury,” he said. “It’s something you can play with. Hopefully it stops. Whenever it stops, I’ll be fine. Right now I just have to play through it.”
Woods, who started each of the team’s first two games, may not be able to play. Coach Doug Marrone said Thursday that, as of right now, Woods wouldn’t be able to go.
