Back in mid-May, the Buffalo Bills announced that star wide receiver Sammy Watkins had broken his foot and underwent surgery to insert a screw in that foot a month earlier. There were conflicting reports in the wake of the injury news.

FOX Sports stated that Watkins would miss six-to-eight weeks, which would put him back on the field in time for training camp. ESPN, though, reported that Watkins would miss the preseason but return for the Bills' regular season opener.

Watkins had initially expressed optimism of a return for camp himself, but waffled on that stance on Saturday.

"You never know," Watkins said when asked if he'd be back for camp, per ESPN.com. "Right now I feel good, but I got to go back and train and rehab. Hopefully it feels good when I run and everything like that. I haven't ran in three or four weeks. Hopefully I'll feel good about it and I'll be on the field in training camp."

ESPN also asked Watkins about the report that he would miss the entire preseason and return at the start of the regular season.

"I ain't got nothing to say about that, really," Watkins said. "You never know. Be very skeptical about it. Hopefully I'll be back [for camp]. If I'm not, then cool. Get ready for the first game."

Watkins isn't the only Bills wideout not participating in the offseason program. Marquise Goodwin left the team (for the summer) to pursue an Olympic dream as a track star. The Bills better hope Watkins is healthy for the season, because beyond him they have only Goodwin, Robert Woods, Greg Salas, Jarrett Boykin, Greg Little, and Leonard Hankerson under contract at the receiver position.
