Ryan: Watkins Not A Lock To Play This Week; Williams A Reach
Following up on a previous item. ... Sammy Watkins returned to practice on Thursday, taking part in individual drills with his fellow pass-catchers.
At running back, starter LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and rookie Karlos Williams (concussion) also missed Thursday's practice, paving the way for potential start on Sunday by Anthony Dixon.
Head coach Rex Ryan subsequently told reporters Thursday that Watkins is close to a return, but it might not be this week.
Ryan called Williams' availability for Sunday "a reach."
Stay tuned. I'll continue to follow up as developments warrant.
