Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy will be sidelined for three to four weeks after re-aggravating a hamstring injury that he suffered in training camp. Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo reports an MRI showed McCoy suffered a new tear after experiencing a setback prior to the Bills' Week 3 matchup against the Jets, and is currently intent on sitting out until he's 100 percent.

The dynamic running back has been unable to overcome his ailing hamstring so far this season, which he first injured in the middle of August. McCoy has yet to gain more than 100 yards on the ground in Buffalo's first three contests, and rushed for a paltry 16 yards on 11 attempts during last week's 41-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.
McCoy says his running style, which relies on his speed and cutting ability, has been significantly hampered through the first three weeks of the 2015 campaign.
“I’m not the bruising type to be running through everybody,” McCoy said, per the AP. “My thing is making them miss and getting out of there. If you can’t do that, you can’t do (anything).”
The 2-1 Bills are expected to turn to rookie running back Karlos Williams in McCoy's absence, who has rushed for 186 yards and three touchdowns to begin the season. He's averaging 7.8 yards per carry. The Bills released veteran running back Fred Jackson at the end of August.
Buffalo acquired McCoy from the Philadelphia Eagles this spring in exchange for linebacker Kiko Alonso, who is currently nursing a knee injury that he suffered during Week 2.
