The Facts: McCoy was dinged up in Sunday's win, but insisted after the game he'd be "fine" to play in Thursday Night Football versus the New York Jets. NFL Media's Albert Breer reports on Tuesday that McCoy has a shoulder strain, but didn't need an MRI. Breer added that Shady's status is still up in the air, despite the back's optimism. "I believe he'll play," head coach Rex Ryan said Tuesday. "How significant his role will be, I'm not sure."
Diehards Line:
Facing a Jets team ranked No. 1 against the run, the Bills need a healthy McCoy to pull the road upset Thursday in Rex Ryan's return to MetLife stadium. If McCoy can't play, expect Karlos Williams to carry the load. McCoy compiled 16 rushes for 112 yards in Week 9 before leaving the game in the second half. He's missed two games this season due to injury.
