The Facts: Watkins expects to be ready for action when the Buffalo Bills open training camp on July 30. Watkins, who is recovering from surgery to repair stress fractures in his left foot, admits he will have to be cautious in his return to the field. "For training camp, I think I'll definitely be available," Watkins told TSN.ca. "I might sit out two or three days. It's all about how I feel within those days. The goal is to come back and be prepared for training camp."
Diehards Line:
Watkins underwent surgery on his foot in April and graduated from crutches to a walking boot in recent weeks. He was walking without any visible sign of an injury late last week. The 23-year-old wide receiver says he’s starting with the basics of the position as he looks to get back to full speed for his third professional season. “Basically we are just taking it slow,” Watkins said, “doing the little things now as far as cutting and moving around; the basics. There’s really no timetable. It’s really when I feel healthy, when I am healthy. ..." And that's something we'll be watching closely come August. Stay tuned.
