ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills receiver Sammy Watkins returned to practice on Thursday, but his offensive coordinator said the wideout is still dealing with a broken bone in his left foot.Watkins recently returned after missing two months of action.Last I heard, the guy has a broken bone in his foot, Bills offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn said. Im just thankful to have him for any time he can give us.Watkins missed practice on Wednesday due to foot soreness before returning on a limited basis on Thursday.The Bills top receiver originally suffered the injury in the offseason and had surgery in April, when he had two screws inserted into his left foot to repair a stress fracture. He aggravated the injury in Week 3 when a teammate stepped on his foot at a walkthrough and was placed on injured reserve. Watkins returned from injured reserve last week.Bills coach Rex Ryan said Watkins looked good in his return Thursday.He was able to do quite a bit today, Ryan said. I believe (he will play Sunday) unless theres some kind of setback.Watkins was unavailable to speak to reporters on Thursday and declined to speak on Wednesday.Watkins had a big impact in his first game back against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He provided a boost to the leagues worst passing attack with three receptions for 80 yards.Upon returning to the practice field last week, Watkins said that his biggest hurdle was stamina and conditioning, not pain.According to Lynn, however, pain tolerance is the biggest reason for Watkins limited availability.Well, I mean, the guy has a broken bone in his foot, I dont know if hes going to play one play or 20 plays, Lynn said. So well just see how big his role is. Id like to keep him there the whole time but I cant say. Hes tough, hes very determined to stay on the football field and help us win games but he has a broken bone in his foot at the end of the day.From my understanding its a pain tolerance deal and how long he can stay out there, Lynn said.The Bills (6-5) will be shorthanded at receiver against Oakland (9-2) either way. Robert Woods (knee) and Percy Harvin (migraines) are not expected to play, and Marquise Goodwin left practice Thursday with a wrist injury. Buffalos only other receivers are Justin Hunter, Brandon Tate and Dez Lewis. Lewis was recently promoted from the practice squad.---More AP NFL coverage: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Jarrett Culver Jersey .

SAN DIEGO -- The Washington Nationals had runners on second and third with one out in the third inning when Denard Span hit a hard comebacker that ricocheted off San Diego Padres pitcher Eric Stults lower left leg to first baseman Yonder Alonso. Alonso tagged the bag and then ran toward third base, where Kurt Suzuki was hung up because Jordan Zimmermann had taken off from second. Alonso tagged Suzuki to finish the inning-ending double play, which helped the Padres beat the Nationals 2-1 Saturday night. "You dont really work on that one in spring training," manager Bud Black said. "Yonder has a good baseball mind and reacted accordingly. No doubt that was a big break for us." Alonso also homered off Zimmerman, who was trying to become the first pitcher in the majors to get eight wins this season, and Everth Cabrera singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth. "Youve got to have your head up and realize whats going on on the field. The field tells you a lot," Alonso said. "The ball came to me and I tagged first, then I saw the runner on second just kind of keep on going, so I went directly home with a little sleight to go to third to kind of corner them in, and whoever left the bag, make the tag." Zimmerman said he saw the ball going up the middle "and I thought it bounced in front of the pitcher. I was taking off and I didnt really know what happened when they said it went off his foot to the first baseman. Thats kind of the way our luck has been going." "It caught me in a good spot, just below the knee, kind of in a meaty spot," Stults said. "Im fortunate it didnt get me on the kneecap and the fact he was heads-up enough to make that play, freeze the guy on third and get that big double play. It was kind of an unorthodox double play, but it could have been a lot worse." The Nationals had the runners in scoring position after Suzuki walked and Zimmermann reached on an error when second baseman Jedd Gyorko couldnt handle a low throw from Stults on a sacrifice attempt and the ball rolled into foul territory. "What a great game," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. "It was an unbelievable game. Thats a tough loss." Cabrera singled in Alex Amarista, who reached when Suzuki, the catcher, fielded his bunt and forced John Baker at second. Zimmermann tried to pick off Amarista but his throw was wide of first baseman Adam LaRoche for an error, allowing Amarista to take second. Cabreras hit made a winner of Stults (4-3). The left-hander went a seeason-high eight innings, allowing one run and four hits while striking out five and walking two.dddddddddddd "Were not hitting very smart," Johnson said. "Were swinging at his changeups around the knees or in the dirt. Were not making him throw the ball. Its a sign of inexperienced hitters at times. You have to be more patient against a guy like this. Were still growing on offence. Guys have to be a little more patient and not hit the pitchers pitch." Zimmermann (7-2) also went eight, allowing two runs, one earned, and seven hits. He struck out six and walked none. "I just made two mistakes," Zimmerman said. "The home run to Alonso. It was a good pitch, it was up. You cant really complain about that. The throwing error I made down the line cost us. If I dont make that, were still out there playing." Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances. Street gave up Chad Tracys pinch-hit homer in the 10th inning of the Nationals 6-5 win Friday night. Alonso sent a drive a few rows beyond the home run porch in the right-field corner leading off the second for a 1-0 lead. It was his fifth of the season. The Nationals tied it in the sixth on their first two hits off Stults. Suzuki hit a leadoff single to right, advanced on Zimmermanns bunt and scored on Steve Lombardozzis single to right-centre. San Diegos Chase Headley was caught in a rundown between third and home for the third out of the seventh after he didnt see that shortstop Ian Desmond made a nice diving stab at Chris Denorfias single. Headley rounded third by a few steps and Desmond threw to third. Headley broke for home but was tagged out.
