Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir should return from an ankle injury in time for the season opener, coach Sean McDermott said Thursday.
Shakir, 25, has been considered day-to-day since sustaining a right high-ankle sprain in practice last Friday. He is likely to miss all three preseason games.
Shakir posted career highs in receptions (76), targets (100), receiving yards (821) and touchdown catches (four) in 15 games last season.
He has 125 catches for 1,593 yards and seven TDs in 46 games (21 starts) since the Bills drafted him in the fifth round in 2022 out of Boise State.
Buffalo opens the preseason Saturday against the visiting New York Giants. The regular season kicks off on Sept. 7 at home against the Baltimore Ravens.
