Shakir (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Friday's walk-through. The availability of Shakir, who didn't practice last week, thus remains cloudy ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets. If he remains sidelined Week 6, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins (shoulder), Curtis Samuel (toe) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be in line to lead the Bills' WR corps, pending the status of Hollins and Samuel, who were deemed limited both Thursday and Friday.

Shakir (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Friday's walk-through. The availability of Shakir, who didn't practice last week, thus remains cloudy ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets. If he remains sidelined Week 6, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins (shoulder), Curtis Samuel (toe) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be in line to lead the Bills' WR corps, pending the status of Hollins and Samuel, who were deemed limited both Thursday and Friday.
Shakir (ankle) didn't practice Thursday. Shakir didn't practice last week before sitting out this past Sunday's loss to the Texans, so his continued absence Thursday clouds his status for Monday night's game against the Jets. The wideout now has two more chances to return to the field ahead of the contest, but if Shakir remains sidelined Week 6, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins (shoulder), Curtis Samuel (toe) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be in line to lead the team's WR corps versus New York, pending the availability of Hollins and Samuel, who were limited Thursday.
Shakir (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Shakir didn't practice in any capacity last week before sitting out Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans. His continued absence from practice makes Shakir's availability for Monday's game against the Jets cloudy at this stage. While Shakir was sidelined Week 5, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel (foot) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling served as the Bills' top four receivers, but none of the quartet made a major mark on the box score on a day that quarterback Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 pass attempts.
Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Shakir (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Texans. Shakir, who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, will thus target a potential return to action Oct. 14 against the Jets. In his absence Sunday, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Curtis Samuel are on hand to lead Buffalo's Week 5 WR corps.
Shakir (ankle) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports. Shakir has now missed back-to-back practices due to an ankle issue. He played a normal assortment of offensive snaps during Buffalo's loss to the Ravens in Week 4, but unless Shakir can upgrade his participation level Friday, it looks like his status could be in jeopardy for Sunday's road matchup against the Texans. Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling could all benefit from increased opportunities if Shakir misses any time.
Shakir (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports. Shakir played a full game Sunday night at Baltimore but apparently injured his ankle somewhere along the way. He's been the de facto No. 1 for a spread-the-wealth Buffalo passing attack, with his 19 percent target share and 230 receiving yards leading the team. An absence for Sunday's game at Houston would leave more snaps for Marquez Valdes-Scantling and/or Curtis Samuel while increasing the target projections for Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins.
Shakir is contending with ankle soreness ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports. With that in mind, coach Sean McDermott noted that the Bills will will monitor Shakir's status daily ahead of Week 5 action. The wideout thus appears likely to have his practice participation impacted, with further context on that front set to arrive Wednesday.
Shakir caught four of five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens. Shakir's first catch surpassed Michael Thomas' mark of 27 from 2018 for the most consecutive targets caught by an NFL wide receiver since at least 1991. That streak bumped up to 30 before a pass in Shakir's direction fell incomplete in the second quarter. He bounced back with a 52-yard catch in the third quarter, but that was the highlight of an otherwise quiet night for Buffalo's offense. Shakir finished with the team lead in receiving yards for a third consecutive game despite missing a few plays to have his ankle taped up in the first half, so he's the clear No. 1 option in Buffalo's passing game heading into a Week 5 trip to Houston.
Shakir caught all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars. Shakir led the Bills in targets and receiving yards Monday, and he has established himself as the top option in Buffalo's new-look wide receiver room after the offseason trade of Stefon Diggs to Houston. The highlight of Shakir's night was a 27-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, which was one of four first-half touchdown passes thrown by Josh Allen. Shakir has caught all 14 of his targets this season for 168 receiving yards and two touchdowns heading into another primetime game on Sunday Night Football against the Ravens in Week 4.
