Bills | Jordan Matthews unsure about preseason games

Buffalo Bills WR Jordan Matthews (chest) said he is not sure if he will play in any preseason games because he needs to be smart about his injury but is optimistic about his availability for Week 1.

Footballguys View: Matthews discussed how dealing with this injury has a lot to do with pain management. We’ll see if he can be ready (enough) for Week 1. With Anquan Boldin retired and Sammy Watkins traded away, the Bills need all the help they can get at the WR position.

Rams | Tavon Austin not ready yet

Los Angeles Rams WR Tavon Austin (hamstring) is making progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury but is not expected to practice this week or play in the third preseason game.

Footballguys View: With Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods there’s just not going to be many targets there for Austin in 2017. Add in solid rookie Cooper Kupp, and you can see how Austin’s career high in receptions (58, 2016) is unlikely to be bested in 2017.
