Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy and wide receiver Sammy Watkins will play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL.com's Adam Schefter.

McCoy's dealing with the effects of a thumb injury that required surgery and will play with a splint, Schefter tweeted.

Watkins, meanwhile, is expected to start, but will reportedly be on a pitch count due to conditioning concerns, Schefter added. The 23-year-old hasn't played since Week 2 due to a foot injury.

The injury news isn't as good for wide receiver Percy Harvin:

The Bills are 5-5 on the season.
