With his star wide receiver being placed on injured reserve last week, Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan appears to be a combination of confused and frustrated when it comes to the subject of Sammy Watkins. After all, he is your star receiver, wouldn’t you want to be on top of his status if at all possible.

Asked about the foot injury plaguing Watkins, Rex Ryan’s response was one that leads me to believe there is something else going on behind the scenes in Buffalo. Questioned about whether or not Watkins would be getting a second surgery, Rex Ryan revealed that he had no idea what was happening with his star receiver.

This is deeply concerning for me. Sure, the team is winning now and that takes a lot of the pressure of Ryan’s back, but surely he would be on top of every development surrounding his star player. If he’s not on top of it, there could be something else at play behind the scenes in Buffalo right now. Something such as an estranged Sammy Watkins perhaps?

Then again, this could just be an overreaction and be absolutely nothing. For all we know, this could be another one of Rex’s games. Who knows, maybe there is nothing wrong with Watkins. Ryan is playing coy long enough to potentially spring him out of nowhere once he can be removed from the team’s IR list.

It really is a mystery to me personally. What is not a mystery though is the questions surrounding Sammy Watkins. Having his foot reevaluated, some have questioned Watkins toughness claiming no problems exist and it was only a matter of pain tolerance. Of course though, the doctors opinion will be the only one that matters in the end.

No matter what happens, hopefully Rex Ryan is in the know as it relates to Sammy Watkins. After all, he is the head coach still and needs to be kept in the loop for how the team handles Sammy Watkins and his foot injury.
