Following up on the ongoing story. ... The Bills are going to be down two running backs against the Titans on Sunday, but we won’t know until shortly before kickoff whether they will also be missing wide receiver Sammy Watkins.

According to Profootballtalk.com, Watkins has been listed as questionable for the game because of the calf injury that sidelined him against the Giants last weekend. Watkins didn’t participate in practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but stretched with the team on Friday and head coach Rex Ryan said that the wideout has made progress toward a return to game action.

“I feel really good about how Sammy has progressed,” Ryan said. “He’s excited. So hopefully we’ll get him back.”

As expected, the Bills ruled out running back LeSean McCoy for the second straight week due to a hamstring injury. Karlos Williams is also out with a concussion, leaving Anthony Dixon and Daniel Herron -- also known as "Boobie" and "Boom," respectively -- as a colorfully named running back duo for the game against the Titans.
