Watkins, Spikes probable for Bills' Chicago trip

BY DAN BEGNOCHE

Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Sammy Watkins is still rehabbing a rib injury he sustained in the team's third preseason game, while linebacker Brandon Spikes is still a bit tender following a slight knee injury Thursday.

Each playmaker is listed as probable for Sunday's game in Chicago, however, as the team tries to win its season opener for the first time in three years. 

Here's the full injury list for Buffalo's road game against the Bears:

DOUBTFUL
TE Joseph Smith (Toe)
S Jonathan Meeks (Neck)

PROBABLE
LB Randell Johnson (Ankle)
WR Samuel Watkins (Ribs)
LB Brandon Spikes (Knee) 

QUESTIONABLE
CB Stephon Gilmore (Groin)
RB Anthony Dixon (Hamstring)
