Report: McCoy uncertain for Week 3 after cracking rib cartilage
Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy has been diagnosed with a cracked rib cartilage and is questionable for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
McCoy is not expected to miss more than one game if he is ruled out versus Minnesota, Schefter added.
The running back was injured in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported that McCoy had fractured his ribs but was hoping to play through it. It appears the ailment is less severe than originally thought.
It's been a slow start to the season for McCoy, who's rushed for only 61 yards on 16 carries across two games. The 30-year-old has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on the ground in four of the past five seasons.
After getting blown out in back-to-back games to open the campaign, the Bills will travel to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, searching for their first win of 2018.
