'When asked if he has any trepidation about putting Taylor on the field given the circumstances, Ryan replied, “it’s not ideal for anybody that’s limited.” '

'"Well, I mean, I'm cautiously optimistic," said Bills head coach Rex Ryan. "Isn't that what we always say about McCoy? No, I mean, I hope he can go. But if not, obviously the plan is going to be a little different then."'

'Neither McCoy or head coach Rex Ryan would admit to McCoy being on a pitch count for Sunday, nor would McCoy comment if his hamstring pull was back to 100-percent healthy. Whatever the terms, though, McCoy will be out there against the Bengals, giving the team not only a third running back to be active on game day, but a starter at that.'

'“Yeah he’ll be a game time decision,” said head coach Rex Ryan of Taylor, who was listed as questionable. “I think he wants to go, there’s no doubt about that, but we’ll see. He’s feeling a lot better let’s put it that way.”'

'“Right now with how the season is going we need this win,” said McCoy after practice Friday. “A lot of guys are banged up. We’re looking to get a big win here and one more and go into the bye week and that’s the time to get healthy with a full week of treatments so that’s the mindset. One hundred (percent) or not we need this win so I’m out there with my teammates.”'

'Bengals TE Tyler Eifert is carving up defenses between the numbers. Last week against Seattle he had a team-high eight catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns. Losing Aaron Williams to short-term injured reserve hurts with this matchup, but Buffalo will need the very best from Corey Graham, Nigel Bradham and others to keep Eifert from taking over.'
