The Facts: McCoy said Thursday he believes he can play in Sunday's AFC wild-card playoff game against the Jaguars as long as his injured right ankle does not cause him pain. "I want to be able to cut well enough to where I don't have a lot of pain cutting," he said. "I just want to be close, or the best as far as [being] 100 percent as I can get. The type of game like this, you got to lay it all on the line. If I can't get 100 percent, as long as I'm out there and I can work effective enough, I'll do it. We'll just see."

Diehards Line: McCoy did not practice Thursday but took part in stretching, which he did not do Wednesday, before leaving the practice field with a trainer. HC Sean McDermott said McCoy's departure was planned. McCoy, who rushed for 1,138 yards this season, was carted off the field in the third quarter of last Sunday's regular-season finale against the Miami Dolphins. He was spotted in a walking boot after the game, but was out of the boot by Wednesday. ... If McCoy cannot play Sunday, the Bills would be expected to use a combination of Mike Tolbert and Marcus Murphy at running back. They could also sign Aaron Green off their practice squad.
