'“Our coach needs to know that, through the good and the bad, there’s stability. The players need to know there’s stability,” Pegula said. “And by the way, that doesn’t help our players any to start reading that their coach is going to get fired.”'

'Coach Rex Ryan used the word "hopeful" in providing an update a day after McCoy left practice complaining of tightness in one of his hamstrings. Ryan declined to go into detail when asked about the severity of the injury except to say it wasn't "full blown."'

'Since start of 2015, Bills are 11-1 when leading at halftime, and 1-9 when trailing.'

'Anderson also reported that she was told McCoy could miss additional games as well.'

'Bills, 19-17.'

'Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn wants to be cautious with McCoy's injury. When Lynn served as running backs coach last season, McCoy strained his hamstring in training camp and the injury lingered into the regular season, keeping the star runner out of two games in October.'

'I graduated in 1996 from Clarence high school. I grew up there my whole life, went to middle school there. Clarence Junior High and went to Ledgeview Elementary School and have just been around this area for a long time. My whole family's from around here. My grandparents grew up around here, my parents grew up around here, and just had a little niche here in this little town for a long time.'

'Due to a rainy and wet practice field, the team elected to practice inside the ADPRO Sports Training Center.'

'According to ESPN’s Josina Anderson, the Bills will be without star running back LeSean McCoy against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday — and potentially for some time after that. McCoy injured his hamstring in practice on Wednesday, and had to sit out of Thursday’s practice because of the ailment.'

'"Oh yeah. I think he's going to play," Ryan said. "I've seen enough. He's flying around, looks like the guy we drafted."'

'Dolphins 19, Bills 17.'

'“We’ll see how he progresses the next couple of days,” said Ryan. “He was out here and able to watch practice, but hopefully we get him back.”'

'“He actually sent me his jersey,” Rex said this week. “One day I get this package and there’s a jersey in it. I couldn’t believe it. Dennis had sent me the jersey they cut off him when he was paralyzed in a game. I was blown away by it.”'
