Buffalo Bills star Sammy Watkins arrives in London in walking boot

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is a big doubt for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley after arriving in London wearing a walking boot.
Watkins sprained his ankle while making a 22-yard touchdown catch in the first-half of Sunday's 34-21 home defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The second-year wideout tried to walk off the field under his own power but had to be helped to the locker room and was seen leaving the stadium in crutches.
Watkins wasn't the only wounded Bill in the contest. Fellow wide receiver Marquise Goodwin suffered a rib injury, and offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson left the game in the first quarter with a concussion.
On the defensive side, tackle Kyle Williams took a hit to his left knee with five minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Watkins, Goodwin, Henderson, and Kyle Williams join wide receiver Percy Harvin, quarterback Tyrod Taylor, running back Karlos Williams, safety Aaron Williams, and corner back Leodis McKelvin among those that remained sidelined Sunday.
"I think [the injuries are] affecting everybody's morale, mine included," Ryan said. "You have a vision for what this team could be when we're healthy.
"It's frustrating because you know you don't have your parts. I know we can compete with anybody, but it just seems like we take a step forward and then we take two steps back.
"It's been a frustrating year and these injuries have just been amazing. Hopefully we can right the ship and get our guys back and I truly believe that we have a very talented team, but I'd love to have that ability to get the back healthy."
Watkins traveling with the team to London suggests the Bills have some hope he can play, but it will likely come down to a game-time decision.
