Authentic Gabriel Landeskog Jersey , N.Y. (AP) Bills receiver Jordan Matthews isn’t going to let a broken right thumb prevent him from making a few catches
when his other hand works just fine.
Though not yet cleared for practice, Matthews spent time catching passes solely with his left hand on the sideline Monday, after the Bills held a brief
session upon returning from their bye week.
”I’m trying to make sure I hone in on all my other skills,” Matthews said. ”My left hand is my off hand

Oct. 1. Aside from receiving acupuncture treatments, Matthews said he is also
squeezing a stress ball to increase the strength in his thumb.
Coach Sean McDermott listed Matthews as day to day

against Tampa Bay on Sunday.
”Coming out of the bye week, he made a tremendous amount of progress,” McDermott said. ”We’ll know a little more tomorrow at this point.”
The Bills (3-2) could use a boost on offense .
At the time Matthews was hurt, the fourth-year player was leading Bills receivers with 10 catches for 162 yards

Buffalo’s offensive threats were thinned further in a 20-16 loss at Cincinnati the following week, when starting tight end Charles Clay was
sidelined by a left knee injury. Clay is listed week to week.
Buffalo managed just 221 yards against the Bengals, and hasn’t topped 300 yards since totaling 408 in a season-opening 21-12 win over the New York
Jets.
Matthews is eager to return and contribute.
”I think everybody’s pretty optimistic going forward,” he said. ”But I know how much I really want to get back out there

This is the second time Matthews has been hurt since being acquired in a trade with Philadelphia in August on the same day Buffalo dealt receiver Sammy
Watkins to the Los Angeles Rams.
Matthews missed a majority of the preseason after hurting his chest during his first practice with the Bills.
Buffalo made a roster move Monday by activating offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson, a week after he completed serving a 10-game NFL suspension for
violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Henderson has acknowledged using
marijuana to relieve the effects of Crohn’s disease.
Henderson was allowed to practice with the team during the offseason and play in preseason games. He was also allowed to attend team meetings and work out at
the Bills facility while serving his suspension.
Buffalo released cornerback Greg Mabin to open a roster spot for Henderson.
NOTES: LB Ramon Humber (broken right thumb) is listed week to week. … DT Marcell Dareus was excused from practice for personal reasons. … Starting CB
E.J. Gaines returned to practice on a limited basis after missing the game
against Cincinnati because of a groin injury.
