'Despite injuring his hamstring Tuesday, Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is expected to be ready for the team's regular-season opener against the Indianapolis Colts, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.'

'"I'm getting a second chance," Ryan said. "I'd probably be the guy who heads that list."'

'So what is Manuel actually playing for? If he’s not in the mix to start, at best he’s fighting for the backup role. But even that appears to be an uphill battle for him at this point. So, with hard decisions to be made to finalize the 53-man roster, the reality is, EJ Manuel could very well be playing to prove to the Bills coaching staff he deserves a spot.'

'With both Woods and Harvin along with Watkins, Woods thinks defenses won’t know who to cover, “It’s just mismatches, we’re going against nickel corners, outside guys and it frees up a lot of the receivers.”'

'In addition to the two signings, the team also announced that tight end and former Canisius basketball standout Chris Manhertz and cornerback Rod Sweeting have been released.'

'Without question, Thursday night’s contest against the Cleveland Browns will be the biggest game of Tyrod Taylor’s career.'

'Despite Tuesday's hamstring injury, the Buffalo Bills' lead running back will be ready to suit up against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1, a source informed of McCoy's MRI results told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.'

'“I’m excited for it and I can’t wait to play,” said Taylor. “I think all those years that I spent in Baltimore being behind Joe (Flacco) prepared me for this opportunity that I have now and I’m taking everything that I’ve learned previously and I’m putting it towards my game. Just taking it day by day and showing the coaches what I can do.”'

'With each of the five running backs that reported to camp for the Bills now injured, Buffalo had to reinforce their roster. The club signed free agent RB Cierre Wood giving them three healthy running backs heading into Thursday’s preseason game with Cleveland. He’ll join a pair of undrafted rookies in Buffalo’s offensive backfield in Bronson Hill and Ricky Seale.'
