Injury news isn’t good for Watkins, Decker

Buffalo Bills receiver Sammy Watkins will miss at least eight weeks resting an injury to his surgically repaired left foot after the team placed him on the injured-reserve list.

Watkins was already ruled out from playing at New England on Sunday, and missed last weekend’s game against Arizona. He’s been sidelined since a teammate stepped on his foot during a walk-through session last week. Buffalo’s first-round pick in the 2014 draft missed much of the offseason after having two screws inserted into his foot to repair a stress fracture in April.

In another significant AFC East injury, the New York Jets will be without Eric Decker this weekend — and maybe for a while longer. The wide receiver has a partially torn rotator cuff that will sideline him for at least Sunday’s game against Seattle.

Browns move on

The Cleveland Browns have personal compassion for Josh Gordon. They’re done with him professionally.

A day after the troubled wide receiver said he’s entering rehab for an unspecified condition, Cleveland Coach Hue Jackson said Friday that the team intends to “move on” from Gordon.

“What we need to do is just close that chapter right now,” Jackson said.
