Injuries have led the Bills to employ a variety of different wide receiver groups over the course of the season and few of them have included both Robert Woods and Sammy Watkins, but there may be a chance to get another look at that tandem that before the year is out.
Coach Rex Ryan announced that Woods is practicing in a limited capacity for the Bills on Wednesday. It’s his first time on the field since injuring his knee in Week 11, which could leave him in play for a spot in the lineup against the Steelers this weekend.
Watkins is expected to be in the lineup, although he isn’t joining Woods in Wednesday’s practice. Watkins returned to action in Week 12 after a stint on injured reserve and also sat out practice last Wednesday to rest his foot. Ryan said that Watkins feels better this week than he did after his initial return to action.
The Bills need to win out to have any chance at making the playoffs, which is a long shot but they can still try to play spoiler by beating the Steelers this Sunday. Having Woods and Watkins in the lineup at the same time would help on that front.
