Bills HC Sean McDermott mentioned that WR Sammy Watkins should be close to 100 percent healthy for the start of training camp on Thursday.
“Credit to Sammy, credit to our training staff and the way he’s attacked the rehab with them,” McDermott said then, via Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News. “That has to continue, though. This is one step in that process of getting Sammy back to where he needs to be and where we need him to be.”
As for the team’s decision to not pick up Watkins’ fifth-year option earlier this offseason, McDermott says he’s spoken to Watkins about it and they’re looking forward to a productive 2017 season.
