The two best receivers of the Bills ended up on the injury report on Tuesday before the playoff game against the Colts on Saturday.

Stefon Diggs, who led the NFL with 127 receptions for 1,535 yards and eight touchdowns, was limited in the team’s run with an oblique injury.

It will be watching for the rest of the week.

The Bills remain without their second leading receiver, Cole Beasley, which is not a good sign for his availability for Saturday. Beasley injured his knee in Buffalo’s win in Week 16 over the Patriots.

He missed last week’s game and Sean McDermott called Beasley ‘week to week’ on Monday.

Beasley got 82 passes for 967 yards in 2020 with four tackles, reaching the pinnacle of his career in the first two categories.

The player the Bills are counting on to take Beasley’s place if he is unable to play also appeared in the injury report. Isaiah McKenzie is limited with an ankle injury.

McKenzie had 30 receptions this season for 282 yards with five shots, scoring twice in the game. He also scored an 84-yard touchdown attack in the standout victory over Miami.

The Bills also considered fullback Jake Fromm as limited, but not for injuries. Fromm spends time working out outside the team in case of a COVID-19 outbreak inside the position.

The attacking linebacker Jon Feliciano (knee) and the tight end Reggie Gilliam (knee / thigh muscle) were full of participants.
