Bills HC Sean McDermott said Thursday that there's optimism that WR Curtis Samuel (turf toe) could be ready for Week 1, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. McDermott added that he didn't want to fully commit to Samuel being ready because his situation remains "murky."

Turf toes can be tricky for skill-position players, so it's not surprising that Samuel's timeline for return is still up in the air.

While this is generally positive news, fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on Samuel in starting lineups early this season. Hopefully he can get back to 100% and be an asset by October.
