Shakir on Pace to Return for Season Opener as Bills Maintain Cautious Preseason

Shakir is following a conservative rehab plan that aims to have him ready for the Bills’ opener in Baltimore.

Overview

  • Shakir suffered a high-ankle sprain at practice on August 1 and has been sidelined from on-field work since.
  • Sean McDermott said on August 7 that Shakir is on track to be available for the Week 1 opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
  • It remains unclear whether Shakir will appear in any of Buffalo’s three preseason games as the team continues its cautious workload management.
  • The Bills announced that quarterback Josh Allen will sit out Saturday’s preseason opener against the New York Giants.
  • Buffalo bolstered its receiving corps this offseason with veterans Elijah Moore, Joshua Palmer and Lavishka Shenault to offset potential absences among starters.
