PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills<\/a> wide receiver Khalil Shakir<\/a> is “week to week” with a high right ankle sprain, coach Sean McDermott said Sunday.<\/p>\n

Shakir, 25, was MVP Josh Allen<\/a>‘s top target last year, leading the Bills in receiving yards (821), catches (76) and targets (100). He received a four-year contract extension this offseason.<\/p>\n

Shakir suffered the injury during Friday night’s practice, leaving early with athletic trainers. The team had an off day Saturday before resuming practice at St. John Fisher University on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Starting safety Taylor Rapp<\/a> (knee) is also a new addition to the injury report. He will miss Sunday’s practice alongside fellow safety Cole Bishop<\/a> (quad), who has not practiced since sitting out of much of Tuesday’s session.<\/p>\n
