K-9 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 @MikeGarafolo On Sammy Watkins' foot surgery (reported by @TyDunne): He played thru stress fractures last year, surgery done a few weeks ago. Watkins' surgery to insert a screw was performed by Robert Anderson. Expected recovery time is 6-8 weeks. Hope is he's a go for camp. So, if it was done a few weeks ago, that puts him at 3-5 weeks out. TC would seem like a sure thing given that timeframe. GO BILLS!!!
26CornerBlitz Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 @john_wawrow As @TyDunne reported, Sammy Watkins had what's been referred to as "a small stress fracture." Expected to be 100 percent for start of camp.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 Hmmm? Schefter is on the high side with both of these injuries: @AdamSchefter Bills WR Sammy Watkins underwent foot surgery about 3 weeks ago, expected to miss preseason. Shaq Lawson expected to be out 5-6 months.

In don't buy it. Given the obvious ineptitude of our medical staff, they don't know what a small stress fracture is. This is all on Whaley. GO BILLS!!!
Maury Ballstein Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Don't worry, don't worry. He will be back in time for training camp....to get hurt again. Booooo. Boooooooo

Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 @TyDunne Some more bad news for the #Bills this Monday. Multiple team sources tell me that wide receiver Sammy Watkins has broken his foot. So in the Ty Dunne article, it says this happened a month ago. That's actually good news, since the time table for returning from this kind of fracture is 8-12 weeks. So if it happened a month ago, Sammy could be back by training camp though they'll probably bring him on slowly. (This could explain why he wasn't in any hurry to show up for voluntary OTA though) What I'm more upset with is the Shaq Lawson shoulder thing. Schefter is FOS per Lawson and the Bills medical staff 100% cleared him per Whaley. Now he needs surgery? With hindsight, poor medical choices might be involved in the Cyrus Kouandijo thing since the reason he fell in the draft was supposed to be bad knees, but the Bills medical staff cleared him. Bad knees can make a guy into a waist-bender and cause other technical problems. WTF, do the Bills need to overhaul their medical staff the way they cleaned house on the scouting staff a few years back?
pi2000 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 This entire team is glass. Gilmore goes out for the season on a simple shoulder tackle. Taylor, Watkins, McCoy, pretty much questionable every single game. Kyle Williams every year. Now Swaq Lawson. There's a quote about guys who get hurt a lot... something to the effect that if you're always getting hurt, you're not good enough to be playing in the NFL. It's not bad luck, it's that you're not a good enough athlete to avoid getting injured.

What a Tuel Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 That's what they all say about Sammy. He's not a very good athlete. He is just simply not good enough to avoid microfractures in his foot! Concentrate Sammy, concentrate!
26CornerBlitz Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 Ach, ich kann das nicht glauben! Warum Nicht? @sammywatkins To all my fans I'm doing great, can't believe everything you hear. Thanks for checking on me gotta love you guys. #BUFFLOVE
