Sammy Watkins is disputing those reports about the health of his foot.

Watkins admitted that his foot felt “tired” after Sunday’s season opener, but proclaimed that he felt better now and was definitely going to be ready for the Buffalo Bills’ Thursday night clash with the New York Jets.

Sammy said he got his foot checked out and its fine. #Bills

Sammy – report that he wasn't 100% going into the game was "very inaccurate." #Bills

Sammy – said he went to trainers at end of game b/c his foot was "tired." Said foot checked out. Needs to be smart. #Bills

— Chris Brown (@ChrisBrownBills) September 12, 2016

Sammy- I'm definitely going to be out there playing and get prepared for this week to go up against a great defense. #Bills

Watkins had offseason foot surgery, and initial reports indicated that the Bills might sit him for a while. Watkins quite obviously has no plan to do so, and he sounds determined to suit up Thursday.
