Overview
- Shakir and his wife, Sayler, announced the birth of their daughter, Sunny Haven Shakir, with an Instagram post noting the 11/17/25 arrival.
- Buffalo listed Shakir as "personal" on multiple practice reports early in the week rather than for an injury.
- Reports indicate he could return to practice as early as Nov. 19, which would position him to play Thursday against Houston if he has no injury designation.
- Buffalo’s pass-catching options are limited, with tight end Dalton Kincaid not practicing due to a hamstring issue and Keon Coleman’s Week 11 disciplinary absence adding uncertainty.
- Shakir leads the Bills in receiving yards this season with 46 receptions for 454 yards and three touchdowns after signing a multi-year extension earlier in 2025.
