The Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released their third and final injury reports ahead of Super Bowl LV on Friday. On the KC side of things, we’ve gotten one notable former Buffalo Bills player: Sammy Watkins.
The wide receiver, who hasn’t played since Week 16, which includes the AFC Championship vs. the Bills, was listed as questionable. Watkins has a calf issue.
According to Chiefs Wire, Watkins did have a full practice on Friday. Final practices of the week are usually more of the walk-through variety, so it remains to be seen if Watkins can get on the field to face the Bucs.
The former first-round pick of the Bills was held to only 10 games this season due to injury. He had 37 catches, 421 yards and two touchdowns on the year.
In last year’s Super Bowl vs. the San Francisco 49ers, Watkins caught five of six targets for 98 yards receiving.
For those looking for a rooting interest in the big game, Watkins did also talk some smack recently to Bills fans on social media … and he has also consistently referenced that the Chiefs will be winning the Super Bowl this year… and even next season, in interviews.
