The Buffalo Bills pulled star RB LeSean McCoy out of practice Thursday after he experienced tightness in his hamstring. “Do I expect him to play?” coach Rex Ryan said. “I certainly hope so.” The Bills host the New England Patriots on Sunday. If McCoy isn’t able to play, the Bills would turn to rookie Karlos Williams, the team’s leading rusher in their Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Owners have reason to be concerned about McCoy’s ability to hold up this season given the fact this is the second known hamstring issue he’s had since August. Ryan hasn’t ruled McCoy out and probably wouldn’t do so until Sunday, but his less-than-glowing “I certainly hope so” reply doesn’t exactly breed a lot of confidence in his ability to handle a full workload against New England in Week 2. Williams needs to be owned in all leagues until McCoy is cleared.
