The Buffalo Bills placed wide receiver Sammy Watkins on injured reserve Friday as he continues to battle an ailing foot.The IR designation means Watkins will be out of game action a minimum of eight weeks.The move came hours after coach Rex Ryan expressed concern that the injury could linger.I dont know if fear is the right word, but major concern, Ryan told reporters.Watkins is scheduled to fly to North Carolina this week to meet with Dr. Robert Anderson to determine if he needs a second surgery that would end his season, a source told ESPNs Adam Schefter on Sunday.Watkins had offseason surgery to repair a broken bone in the foot, and soreness has lingered. He did not play in Sundays win against the Arizona Cardinals, and he did not participate in practice this week.I dont mind doing this every week, Ryan said earlier Friday, before the wideout was placed on IR. If Sammy can play, then obviously we want him out there. But if this is something that is hurting this young man in any way, shape or form, then absolutely I dont want him out there.Watkins is eligible to return to practice Nov. 11. The earliest he can play is Nov. 27 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he does return to practice, the Bills have 21 days to activate him or keep him on IR.In a corresponding move, the Bills announced that they have claimed veteran wideout Justin Hunter.Watkins has not been available in the locker room or spoken to reporters since Sept. 19, when he said his foot injury was kind of out of the window, adding, I know what Im dealing with; the team knows what Im dealing with. Its up to me to go out there and play.Ryan previously said Watkins might have aggravated his surgically repaired foot when he was stepped on during a walk-through practice last week.Watkins, the fourth overall pick in the 2014 draft, has six catches for 63 yards this season.

The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season. In that time, hes recorded 17 goals and 17 assists with 36 penalty minutes. DENVER -- Bud Black really has no radical or revolutionary ideas about how to reliably pitch in the thin air at Coors Field.Just an age-old concept.You know what works here? Good pitching and making pitches and getting outs, Black said Monday after being introduced as the manager of the Colorado Rockies. Thats what we have to do. I dont think we have to change anybody. Weve got to make guys better. And these guys are pretty good to start with.Black signed a three-year deal to take over for Walt Weiss, who stepped down last month when his contract expired after four years in charge of the Rockies. They finished 75-87 last season, their best record since 2010.The 59-year-old Black is revered for his pitching acumen. Understandably, he views the game through a pitchers eyes and knows this park is filled with difficulties for a staff.Its just a different game here than other spots, Black said. But its still baseball. ... Im not planning anything unconventional. I like the conventional. I like good, solid starting pitching, a good, solid relief core. That works anywhere.Black knows this park well after serving as manager of NL West rival San Diego for 8 + seasons before being fired in June 2015. He compiled a 649-713 record for the Padres and was voted NL Manager of the Year in 2010.With the Rockies, Black inherits a potent offense that includes a batting champion in DJ LeMahieu, sluggers Nolan Arenado and Carlos Gonzalez and rising star Trevor Story.Not that hes going to offer them much advice. Instead, hell stick with what he knows best -- pitching.After a major league career that spanned 15 seasons on the mound, Black became a respected pitching coach for the Los Angeles Angels. He brings a wealth of experience to a team thats long struggled to get outs in Denver, which is a mile above sea level.Colorado as a team had a 4.91 ERA last season, tied with Cincinnati for 13th out of 15 National League teams. Arizona (5.09) was the only club that was worse.But the Rockies feature a young and talented rotation led by Jon Gray.The first order of business will be shoring up a bullpen that blew 28 savees last season.dddddddddddd.Were aware of where were at and where we need to get to, said Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich, who also stressed the importance of adding a first baseman. Buds experience and his expertise absolutely adds into that, and lends to us to being better than we have been recently on the bump.Over the years, Colorados kept a close watch on the development of teams such as Kansas City, Cleveland, Houston and St. Louis. Good pitching, clutch hitting, lights-out bullpen -- theyre trying to emulate that sort of blueprint.We try to be in tune with them as much as possible, Bridich said. Theres a difference between talented and good. We have talent. The next step is to become a good team -- a good and consistent team.Bridich interviewed quite a few internal and external candidates before tabbing Black as the seventh manager in franchise history. He got a thumbs-up from owner Dick Monfort, who made a list of eight or nine qualities he wanted to see his next manager embody.I went down that list and checked a lot of them off (with Black), Monfort said. Ive always watched him manage at San Diego. He seems to be a tough guy. He understands the game, obviously has a lot of experience. I think that fits well.On a recent visit to town, Black had a meeting with the Rockies staff in a stadium suite. Hanging on the wall was a picture of Colorado players celebrating with former Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday after he scored the winning run during a 2007 play-in game to beat Black and his Padres. The Rockies rode that wave of momentum all the way to their only World Series appearance.But there was a little bit of controversy about whether Holliday actually touched home plate on his winning slide in the 13th inning. Black weighed in with his opinion.To this day, I dont think hes touched it, joked Black, who posed for pictures Monday right next to home plate. That was a good group. ... Were going to do everything to get back to where this team was in 2007. ' ' '
