Doug Whaley, general manager of the Buffalo Bills, responded to a question regarding whether Sammy Watkins is injury-prone by wondering why it is surprising that football players get injured so often.

"I wouldn't say [he's injury-prone]. If you look at his game log, he's only missed three games. So is he injury-prone? I wouldn't say that. Are things going to come up with a guy like this? We hope that gets limited in the future," Whaley said, before stating his broader thoughts on football.

"This is the game of football," he told WGR 550 radio. "Injuries are part of it. It's a violent game that I personally don't think humans are supposed to play."

Watkins underwent surgery this offseason on a broken foot.
