Bills insider Joe Buscaglia reports that RB LeSean McCoy needs surgery on the thumb he dislocated in Sunday's win over the Bengals. Buscaglia adds that the team expects McCoy to play against the Jaguars next weekend, which has also been reported by Pro Football Talk. We'll keep an eye on him this coming week. Even if McCoy plays vs. Jacksonville, the thumb will add some fumble risk and perhaps limit his pass-catching ability.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy dislocated his thumb in Sunday's win over the Bengals, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Bills sources don't seem concerned," Rapoport adds. It sounds like McCoy has a good shot to be ready for next weekend's game against the Jaguars. If not, Mike Gillislee would operate as Buffalo's lead back.

Update: Pro Football Talk reports that the team expects McCoy to be ready for Week 12.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy injured his thumb in the 1st half of Sunday's game against the Bengals. He's officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: McCoy is done for the day.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is officially active for tonight's game against the Seahawks. McCoy warmed up "without any apparent limitations," according to ESPN's Mike Rodak, but that doesn't mean much. He reportedly looked good in warmups a couple of weeks ago before aggravating the hamstring issue after just 8 carries. McCoy is a high-risk, medium-reward fantasy play tonight.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is expected to play against the Seahawks tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McCoy was limited in practice all week and might be on some type of snap or touch count tonight. He'll also be at risk of (another) in-game setback. Throw in tough matchup, and he looks like just a RB2. Among RBs yet to play this week, though, Seattle's Christine Michael is the only better fantasy option.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night's game in Seattle. He put in limited practices all week, even after HC Rex Ryan spoke optimistically Friday. Fantasy owners will need to decide their comfort level with waiting for McCoy before the Sunday games begin. Mike Gillislee and C.J. Prosise stand as Monday-night insurance options.

Bills HC Rex Ryan said Friday that RB LeSean McCoy looked "full go" in practice Friday and said he believes McCoy is "close" to being ready for Monday night's game in Seattle. This seems to be trending toward McCoy being active for the game. He'll be risky until we see a full game back from his hamstring injury. Obviously, the current RB situation for many owners -- including this week's 6-team bye -- means you might have to go ahead and start McCoy without that assurance. We'll watch for his game status later today and keep an eye out for any further updates throughout the weekend. If you're waiting on McCoy and don't have Mike Gillislee as insurance, then Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise could be an available fill-in.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Thursday -- his 1st since re-injuring that hammy in Week 7. It gives him a shot to play against the Seahawks on Monday night, although McCoy owners should probably be hoping Buffalo holds him out. That's a brutal matchup, and the Bills have a Week 10 bye to really get McCoy healthy.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is officially inactive today’s game against the Patriots. The team is reportedly hoping to get him back for Week 9.

Shady aggravated his hamstring injury last Sunday and didn't practice at all this past week. Buffalo has a Week 10 bye, which might influence whether McCoy plays next week. We'll continue to keep an eye on him. Mike Gillislee will serve as the Bills' lead back vs. New England today.

The Bills have listed RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He didn't practice all week, and HC Rex Ryan essentially confirmed on Friday that McCoy won't play. (In a very Rex-ish way.) RB Mike Gillislee figures to operate as Buffalo's lead back, with Reggie Bush and Jonathan Williams backing him up. New England ranks 8th in fantasy points allowed to RBs, but volume puts Gillislee on the RB2 map.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. It looks like Buffalo has wised up and will sit McCoy until that hammy is back to 100%. A bye looms in Week 10. Mike Gillislee figures to operate as the Bills' lead back vs, the Patriots this Sunday. That's a tough matchup, but volume makes him a fine RB2 in a week with 6 teams on bye.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) won't practice on Wednesday. "We'll see how he progresses through the week," HC Rex Ryan said. The Bills foolishly pushed McCoy through the hamstring injury last week. We'd guess that they won't make that mistake again, but we'll see. RB Mike Gillislee will serve as Buffalo's lead back vs. New England on Sunday if McCoy is held out.

Bills insider Chris Brown says RB LeSean McCoy is "looking good" in warmups. "Looks like he has his burst," Brown adds.

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is officially active for today’s game against the Dolphins. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that McCoy could be limited to 25-35 snaps — about half of the game. There’s also risk of an in-game setback. Check out exactly where McCoy sits in our Week 7 RB Rankings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Bills RB LeSean McCoy could be on a "25-35 play pitch count" against the Dolphins today. That's about half the snaps that he usually plays. Of course, these snap counts usually go awry during the game depending on how the player is feeling. It's also possible that McCoy racks up 15+ touches on 30 snaps. It's clear, though, that he won't be a full-go today. That makes him more of a risk/reward RB2 than his usual locked-in RB1.
