Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel’s job keeps getting tougher.

Wide receiver Stevie Johnson was held out of practice Thursday, and Bills coach Doug Marrone said he “doesn’t feel good,” about his star wideout’s chances of playing Sunday against the Jets, according to Mike Rodak of ESPN.com.

They haven’t ruled Johnson out yet because of his groin injury, but they already declared they’ll be without Robert Woods because of an ankle injury.

That leaves Manuel to face the Bills with T.J. Graham, Marquise Goodwin, Chris Hogan and Marcus Easley at receiver. The hope is that with a bye week coming after this one, the injured guys will have an extra week to prepare.
