Overview

  • Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Sunday that Khalil Shakir suffered a high ankle sprain in practice and is now designated week-to-week.
  • Shakir was rolled up on during a run-block drill on Thursday and required treatment from athletic trainers after limping off the field.
  • The 25-year-old posted 76 catches for 821 yards and four touchdowns in 2024 and previously recovered from a similar injury in the offseason.
  • His uncertain recovery timeline casts doubt on his availability for the Bills’ Week 1 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
  • Buffalo is evaluating slot receiver depth, with offseason additions Josh Palmer and Elijah Moore and practice standouts Kristian Wilkerson and Tyrell Shavers in line for larger roles.
