'Running back LeSean McCoy didn't finish practice on Wednesday after experiencing tightness in hamstring and missed the Bills' Thursday practice. After practice, Rex Ryan said the team still hopes to have him when the team travels to Miami.'

'Woods, filling in for Sammy Watkins (foot), also has an injured foot and is using a walking boot. Woods said there is not a break in the foot and described it as a day-to-day injury, and he’s hopeful to play Sunday but his status is uncertain.'

'“He has been kind of our bell cow,” Head Coach Adam Gase said. “He has done a great job as far as chasing the ball all over the field. He’s borderline reckless with his body. You talk about a guy that just sells out every play; he’s the poster child for that for us. The good thing last week was we did a better job as far as our run-fit goes. So, he wasn’t saving the day as much last week as what he had to do the previous weeks where there’d probably be some more explosive plays if it wasn’t for him with his pursuit and just straight effort.”'

'“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.”'
