Bills New Receiver Matthews Has Chip Fracture In His Sternum
By JOHN WAWROW, AP Sports Writer
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills newly acquired receiver Jordan Matthews has been diagnosed with a chip fracture in his sternum and will be listed week to week.
The team provided the update Monday morning, a day after Matthews was hurt in his first practice since being acquired in a trade with Philadelphia. Matthews finished practice before being escorted off the field complaining of a chest injury.
The Bills are counting on Matthews to fill starting receiver Sammy Watkins' spot after he was also dealt to the Los Angeles Rams in a separate trade on Friday. Buffalo gave up starting cornerback Ronald Darby to acquire Matthews and a third-round draft pick from Philadelphia.
