Inactives For Jets-Bills: Sammy Watkins Set To Play
After a week of speculation, Sammy Watkins will suit up for the Buffalo Bills (0-1) on Thursday Night Football when they play host to the New York Jets (0-1) tonight in Orchard Park.
Coming off of offseason foot surgery that kept him out of most of the Bills' OTAs, Sammy Watkins struggled in Week 1 and there was talk about shutting the star wide receiver down for the season.
But x-rays revealed Watkins did not re-aggravate the injury and it's simply a matter of pain tolerance for him as far as his availability goes the rest of the season.
How effective he will be remains to be seen. In Week 1 Watkins was limited to just four catches for 43 yards, but he'll be on the field tonight for the Bills.
Here are the rest of the inactives for tonight's game.
Inactives:
Jets
QB Bryce Petty — (shoulder)
OLB Jordan Jenkins — (calf)
CB Darryl Roberts — (foot)
QB Christian Hackenberg
RB Troymaine Pope
OG Dakota Dozier

Bills

LT Cordy Glenn — (ankle)
