Just as the Buffalo Bills were settling in at mandatory minicamp earlier this month, reports surfaced about wide receiver Khalil Shakir sustaining an injury on the first day of practice. Details were sparse, but it seemed to involve his lower left leg, evident from the compression sleeve he wore in subsequent days, including while on the sideline the day after the injury.
Now, less than two weeks later, Shakir appears to be recovering well as he continues training with Bills legend Eric Moulds and his Optimal Athletic Training program. Shakir started working with Moulds last offseason, and their partnership seems to be strengthening as they prepare for Shakir’s third season with the Bills, aiming to maximize his impact on the field.
The positive update from Banged Up Bills is reassuring for the team, especially considering the need for players like Shakir to step up in the absence of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.
Positive update on #Bills Khalil Shakir today working out with Eric Moulds again, 1.5 weeks after his L leg injury on June 11.
Still has the compression sleeve but looks fine going through the various drills.
Glad to see it’s wasn’t a big layoff to resume training. pic.twitter.com/SIPSZQtn6q
