McCoy said after the game that he would have been able to return, but the team chose to rest him with a comfortable lead. McCoy rushed for 112 yards on 16 carries against Miami, while Karlos Williams picked up 110 yards on nine carries in relief.
However, he did not practice on Monday, due to the shoulder problem. McCoy was originally listed as probable on the injury report.
McCoy has already missed two games with a hamstring injury, but has rushed for 416 yards and two touchdowns in the six that he has played. Williams has been the surprise, scoring five touchdowns in five games and averaging 6.6 yards per carry.
The Bills have a tough task Thursday night, though. The Jets come into the Week 10 matchup with the league’s seventh-ranked rushing defense, allowing only 3.8 yards per carry.
