BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins might be labeled as "questionable" with a foot injury, but he will play Thursday.

After reports surfaced early Thursday saying that Watkins would "probably" play against the New York Jets, NFL Network reporter Kimberley Jones confirmed that he "will play."

"Multiple sources say Sammy will play," Jones tweeted.

Jones also noted that the Bills declined to promote any of its available wide receivers from its practice squad for the game, opting to call up an offensive lineman instead. Jones also said the only thing that could keep Watkins from the game would be if something happened during pregame warm-ups.

For fantasy football's sake, Watkins should be a WR2 in the match-up against Darrelle Revis, who struggled last week against Cincinnati Bengals superstar A.J. Green.
