McCoy picked up the injury during Buffalo’s Week 3 win over the Miami Dolphins. He returned to practice on a limited basis this week and was listed as probable on the injury report. McCoy admitted that his hamstring is not 100 percent, but he’ll give it a go with Karlos Williams set to miss another game with a concussion.
The Bills acquired McCoy from the Philadelphia Eagles in one of the most surprising trades of the offseason, sending linebacker Kiko Alonso to Philadelphia in return. McCoy struggled with injuries in the preseason and hasn’t quite looked like his old self, rushing for just 146 yards in three games and averaging 3.4 yards per carry. He’s still a reliable contributor in the passing game, catching seven passes for 83 yards and a touchdown.
With McCoy and wide receiver Sammy Watkins coming back, Buffalo’s offense is slowly getting healthy again. However, the team is missing another important piece this week -- quarterback Tyrod Taylor is out with a sprained MCL, and EJ Manuel will get the start. The Bills could use a healthy and productive McCoy to keep the pressure off Manuel.
