Overview

  • Coach Sean McDermott confirmed Khalil Shakir will be week-to-week after rolling up his ankle during a blocking drill in Thursday’s Highmark Stadium scrimmage.
  • Medical projections from CBS Sports sources estimate a four- to five-week recovery, putting his availability for Buffalo’s Sept. 7 opener in doubt.
  • Shakir led the Bills last season with 76 receptions, 821 yards and 100 targets and secured a four-year extension this offseason.
  • Training camp has already sidelined Curtis Samuel with a hamstring issue, Kaden Prather with a hamstring injury and Joshua Palmer with a groin strain.
  • With the receiving corps thin, Keon Coleman, Elijah Moore and other backups are primed for increased snaps in the early preseason and beyond.
