ORCHARD PARK Darryl Johnson NFL Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — Don’t count out LeSean McCoy just yet.Though the Bills running back missed practice Wednesday to nurse a sore left hamstring, McCoy told The Associated Press there’s a chance he’ll play in Buffalo’s home game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.“I want to try to get in a couple of good games before it’s over,” McCoy said, before leaving the locker room.McCoy winked as he said that in a clear reference acknowledging he’s running out of time to make any semblance of an impact in what could become the worst season in his 10-year career.He’s topped 100 yards rushing just once, scored twice and managed just 479 yards rushing. That’s 258 yards shy of his career low in 2009, when he had just four starts in 16 games during his rookie season in Philadelphia.McCoy’s playing status against the Lions is cloudy for various reasons.For one, he’s injured. McCoy had just 1 yard on two carries and also dropped a pass in playing nine snaps before being sidelined in a 27-23 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.With Buffalo (4-9) out of playoff contention, the Bills are also focused on evaluating their youth over their final three games.Undrafted rookie running back Keith Ford was promoted off the practice squad in a move coach Sean McDermott said was based on merits.“Keith, for a rookie, has worked extremely hard since Day 1, and continues to earn the right, so we brought him up this week,” McDermott said.As for McCoy, McDermott would only say “we’ll just take it one day at a time right now” when asked if he expects the veteran to be able to practice this week.McCoy was a limited participant during the team’s pre-practice stretching period. He then jogged lightly off to the side once practice began.Backup running back Chris Ivory practiced fully after hurting his left shoulder in the fourth quarter against the Jets. The Bills also have a fourth running back on their roster Darryl Johnson NFL Draft , rookie Marcus Murphy.While McCoy and the rest of the running backs have struggled, rookie quarterback Josh Allen has suddenly become Buffalo’s top running threat. Allen has combined for 335 yards rushing in his past three games, and now leads the team with 490 yards rushing and five touchdowns.Ford spent his first two seasons at Oklahoma before ending his college career with two seasons at Texas A&M, where he combined for 1,217 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns in 26 games.Ford learned of his promotion shortly after being informed by his father that Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll spoke highly of the running back during a news conference on Monday.“He said, my name came up out of nowhere, and he was like, ‘It’s kind of weird Keith, you should watch it. They think highly of you,'” Ford said. “I watched it, and not too long after that I get a call from my agent. … It’s a blessing. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.”Daboll said he had a soft spot for Ford because of his work ethic.“He’s one of the guys that kind of stands in the background when we’re working our reps and is asking a lot of questions,” Daboll said. “He’s a young guy that’s trying to develop the best he can. You appreciate guys like that.”NOTES: Kicker Stephen Hauschka (hip) did not practice, though McDermott said he expects him to be ready to play Sunday. … Safety Dean Marlowe was promoted from the practice squad a day after Buffalo placed cornerback Taron Johnson on injured reserve. … The Bills signed WR Tanner McEvoy, TE Kyle Carter and CB Josh Thornton to their practice squad.

Every week is a story, and we bring this to you through the lens of key plays that defined each game. Your Week 6 match-up:Buffalo Bills at Houston TexansAfter completing their first game in 2018 decided by only one score, the Buffalo Bills traveled to Houston to take on the Texans. The southern bovine-themed team was starting to come alive. After losing three straight, the Texans had taken their last two opponents to overtime where Houston prevailed both times. Defense and turnovers were the stars of the day as these two teams locked horns. When the dust had settled, the Bills lost the game and more. Lorenzo Alexander/Kyle Williams sack Deshaun Watson (Q2, 1:35)Deshaun Watson had a bad day. Including this one, the Bills had a seven-sack day. Watson fumbled three times, losing one. The constant harassment by the Buffalo defense shut down the Houston passing game. The Texans mustered only 142 net passing yards. Their ground game was held to 74 yards and the Bills’ defense put together a performance that should win most weeks. And that’s not all...Lorenzo Alexander interception (Q3, 14:30)Deshaun Watson was picked off twice. The first ended the second quarter and prevented a near certain score for the Texans. This one in the early third quarter led to Buffalo’s first scoring drive (Stephen Hauschka field goal). On the pick, Lorenzo Alexander times his swat expertly and the ball comes right back to him. The long pause in the clip celebrates “Air ‘Zo” and immortalizes a perfect moment when two teams’ full attention came to a single point. Josh Allen injured (Q3, 3:31)As a general policy, plays that include injuries are either avoided entirely or edited to remove the actual cause. The series is a celebration of sorts and injuries shouldn’t be a part of that. For this one time, I just can’t avoid it though. The slow-starting Bills are starting to come back. Houston has yet to score in the second half and the Bills are only down by seven. Josh Allen fires one of his best passes of the season to gain 39 yards. After the ball is released Allen is illegally hit by Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus. Allen kept himself in for one more play then exited—for a month and a half. Nathan Peterman touchdown to Zay Jones (Q4 Youth Shaq Lawson Jerseys , 13:07)Following the injury to Allen, the offense, led by Nathan Peterman, moved the ball enough to get into field-goal range again. Now only down by four, Trent Murphy had managed to dislodge the ball while he and Jerry Hughes brought down Deshaun Watson again. Harrison Phillips recovered on the Houston 32-yard line and the Bills were in prime scoring position. The running game moved the ball halfway to the goal where Nathan Peterman found an open Zay Jones on this pass. The Bills had the lead. Nathan Peterman interception (Q4, 1:30)The two teams traded punts, but afterward the Texans moved in quickly to score a field goal. Now tied, the Bills had 90 seconds to burn while trying to get into field-goal range for the win. It didn’t happen. Down by seven following this play, the Bills had 1:16 to stage an attempt to tie the game. Lucky for Buffalo, the second Peterman interception was only returned for 13 yards.
