ORCHARD PARK — The Buffalo Bills say Sammy Watkins is making improvements and took another positive step on Thursday towards possibly playing on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Even it Watkins does play on Sunday, it’s expected he would have a limited role to allow him to ease into regular game play.

Watkins had 63 yards over his first two games of the season, but remained bothered by his foot that he had offseason surgery on. He ultimately couldn’t play through the pain anymore and was placed on injured reserve.
