Bills' LeSean McCoy: Appears closer to 100 percent

McCoy (hamstring) was able to practice fully all week and isn't listed on this week's injury report.

Analysis:

It appears the bye week has done McCoy a world of good, and given his 21 rushes without incident in the Week 9 loss to Seattle, it would seem he's about as close to 100 percent as you're going to get out of a veteran running back this time of the season. The Bills are second in the league in rushing and will continue to pound the ball, as the offense hasn't been the problem during the team's three-game losing streak. It's not all sunshine and balloons for McCoy owners, however. Coach Rex Ryan plans to use Mike Gillislee with some regularity to keep McCoy fresh, and McCoy's hamstrings always seem one awkward play away from becoming a big issue. Additionally, McCoy's center, the highly talented and dependable Eric Wood, is now out for the season with a broken leg. All that said, McCoy has looked great when healthy, and there's no chance he won't be the focal point of the offense while the Bills' playoff chances are still alive.
