And it appears that's the case.
McCoy, who was listed as a non-participant in Monday’s practice, got bumped up to limited status the last two days and is listed as probable for tonight's game.
McCoy had 112 yards on 16 carries before getting hurt last week, his best performance of the yeara, and will be joined in the backfield by Karlos Williams, who also went over 100 yards in the win over Miami.
Wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a big game in Week 9 too and a lingering ankle issue isn’t expected to keep him out of the game after also being listed as probable.
Indeed, a healthy Buffalo squad finally flexed their muscles on offense in Sunday's wipeout of the Dolphins.
As NFL.com's Marc Sessler notes, Tyrod Taylor used his mobility to lash Miami's tumbling defense, but he also set the table for a career afternoon by Watkins.
Piling up 168 yards and a score off eight grabs, Watkins accounted for 92.8 percent of Buffalo's yardage through the air, re-establishing last year's first-round pick as the clear go-to guy in Greg Roman's air attack.
Can Watkins keep it cooking on Revis Island?
"Most definitely. I'm pretty sure he'll be following me around. I look forward to it," Watkins said of tonight's showdown with Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, per Tyler Dunne of the Buffalo News. "As a receiver who wants to be noticed as a top receiver, you definitely want to go against those type of guys."
Of course, a great deal of their success last week came from using a punishing ground game to run all over the Dolphins. They'd love to do that again, but it's probably not possible.
The Jets are the No. 1 team in the league at defending the run.
Thus, the Sports Xchange looks for Taylor to open it up in the passing game and try to get connected with Watkins the way he did against Miami -- Revis or not. If that proves to be too daunting, the Xchange believes Charles Clay would become the primary target.
