The first two Bills recipients arrived on Tuesday’s injury report, ahead of Saturday’s playoff wild-card game against the Colts.

Stefon Diggs, who led the NFL with 127 receptions for 1,535 yards and eight touchdowns, was limited in advancing the team with an oblique injury.

It will be worth watching the rest of the week.

Bills remains without its second main recipient, Cole Beasley, which is not a good sign of its availability for Saturday. Beasley injured his knee at the end of Buffalo’s 16 week victory over the Patriots.

He missed last week’s game, and on Monday Sean McDermott called Beasley “week after week”.

Beasley managed 82 passes for 967 yards with four touchdowns in 2020, setting career records in the first two categories.

The player the Bills are counting on to take Beasley’s place if he cannot play also appeared on the injury report. Isaiah McKenzie was hampered by an ankle injury.

McKenzie had 30 receptions for 282 yards with five touchdowns this season, scoring two touchdowns in Sunday’s game. He also returned an 84-yard punt for a touchdown in the burst victory over Miami.

Bills also listed quarterback Jake Fromm as limited, but not by injury. Fromm spends time working outside the team in the event of an outbreak of COVID-19 within the position.

Striker Jon Feliciano (knee) and tight end Reggie Gilliam (knee / hamstring) were full participants.
