Watkins said he stands up and supports his head coach, Rex Ryan, for what his team wishes to do during the national anthem. “He missed that time with the pec, so I think you can see someone like him getting in there and getting some reps”. “I think we will simulate it in practice. So”. I was going one play here, one play there.

Meanwhile, Buffalo has other injury concerns as running back Mike Gillislee, safety Aaron Williams and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin are all in the NFL’s concussion protocol. I’m a full speed guy. “There are going to be guys that are playing that are going to be on our football team, without question”, he said.
“All I can tell you is stay strong, man, and stay up about this decision that you made”, Watkins said. “I think that’s the big thing a quarterback has to do all the time is keep everybody relaxed and keep everybody calm”.
However, while no starters will play Thursday, Ryan won’t be hiding any promising players against the Lions.
Gragg and Hall engaged in some Twitter back and forth after the game and Hall said, “No disrespect to the #Bills Player, I wish him nothing but the best”.
Sammy Watkins, the Bills’ star wide receiver and third-year player, gave his reasoning for supporting Kaepernick, and it doesn’t have to do with the individual decision of sitting down during the anthem. “I think that definitely will help this generation and this world”. “I could go out there and compete and make the plays presented to me”.

“A lot of guys bashed him about it and says it’s a bad thing, but I don’t know what his recent history was with that situation, or what kind of flared him to do that”, Watkins continued. “Even in the last play of the game, I was still telling people, ‘We still have a chance to win this game.’ It didn’t go our way and that happens sometimes, but like I said, I’m really proud of the guys that were in”. “Regardless of how you feel about things that are going on in America today, and the things that are going on across the world with gun violence and things of that nature, you’ve got to respect the flag, and you’ve got to stand up with your teammates”.
