‘“He’s got a little bit of a hip (ailment),” said head coach Sean McDermott.’

‘Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander does not feel as though the team’s increase in energy can be attributed solely to the fact that there was a new play-caller. The veteran said that the team simply started to play as a unit in the second half.’

‘The Bills have injury questions at cornerback also. Phillip Gaines dislocated his elbow in last Sunday’s game, and rookie Taron Johnson sat out with a shoulder injury. Defensive end Shaq Lawson missed the Chargers game with a hamstring injury. The daily practice participation reports will be closely monitored this week, as Buffalo tries to cope with several injuries.’

‘McCoy wore a red non-contact jersey at practice. The Bills feature back has a respectable tolerance for pain, but would prefer to deal with the pain only when he’s getting hit, not when he’s bobbing and weaving away from defenders.’

‘“We have some young players out there,” McDermott said. “A young quarterback, a young middle linebacker that their best days of football are ahead of them, and they’re going to continue to get better and continue to grow, continue to learn. Nobody said that this was going to be easy, and that’s what we’re going through right now. Sometimes there’s a lag in the terms of results, and we’re going to continue to work at it. Like I said last week, nobody’s going to work harder than we are at it, and we just have to continue to grind.”’
