Bills receivers Benjamin, Matthews questionab­le

-

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. » Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott isn’t ruling out Kelvin Benjamin from playing at Kansas City on Sunday even though the receiver has not practiced since hurting his right knee last weekend.

McDermott says Benjamin is considered day to day and was listed as questionab­le on Friday. Benjamin was hurt while being tackled after making a 20-yard catch during Buffalo’s opening drive in a 54-24 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Receiver Jordan Matthews is also listed as questionab­le with a knee injury. Matthews returned to practice this week after missing one game.

Starting left tackle Cordy Glenn will miss his third straight game with a left foot and ankle injury that has nagged him for much of the year.

Buffalo (5-5) has lost three straight. BARCELONA, SPAIN » Lionel Messi received his fourth Golden Shoe award on Friday for leading all of Europe’s leagues in scoring last season.

It was the fourth time the Barcelona forward has received the honor, drawing him even with Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo as the award recordhold­ers.

Messi scored 37 in the Spanish league, beating out Dutch striker Bas Dost, who netted 34 for Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese league.

The 30-year-old Messi also led Europe’s league in scoring in 2009-10 (34), 2022-12 (50 goals) and 2012-13 (46 goals).

Messi was presented with the trophy by teammate Luis Suarez, who won the award in 2015-16 with 40. Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets also attended the ceremony in Barcelona.
