    Bills RB McCoy, DL Dareus both hurt in practice

    http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/tabid/61/EntryId/59112/Bills-RB-McCoy–DL-Dareus-both-hurt-in-practice/Default.aspx

    Buffalo Bills star running back LeSean McCoy and defensive lineman Marcell Dareus both suffered injuries in practice Friday and have been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

    McCoy injured his hand in practice while Dareus, who is returning from a four-game suspension, injured his hamstring.

    Bills coach Rex Ryan declined to elaborate on either injury, simply smiling and replying “questionable” when asked whether McCoy would play Sunday.

    McCoy, however, said during an interview later Friday with ESPN’s SportsCenter that he jammed his hand but vowed that he “won’t miss the game.” McCoy also described the injury as “something small” and said, “I’ll be fine.”

    Dareus remains on the exempt list, meaning the Bills have until 4 p.m. ET Saturday to activate him to their 53-man roster if they want him to play against the Rams. Otherwise, Buffalo has until Monday afternoon to clear a roster spot for Dareus.

    “We’ll see how it is,” Ryan said of Dareus’ injury. “We’ll find out later how he responds.”

    INJURY REPORT

    The performance of the Rams’ defensive line might be the single biggest reason behind the team’s 3-1 start. The depth of that unit could soon be tested.

    Aaron Donald may have extra motivation from Rex Ryan’s two-year-old slight, but the Rams may have to take on the Bills (2-2) without their three other starters. Defensive ends William Hayes and Robert Quinn were held out of all practices this week with ankle and shoulder injuries, respectively, while defensive tackle Michael Brockers (hip) participated in only one session.

    All three are questionable to play against Buffalo, and Rams coach Jeff Fisher optimistically left the door open for their return.

    “We have a tendency of healing up,” he said. “We still have some time.”

    Any absences will likely be filled by former undrafted signees Ethan Westbrooks and Matt Longacre. Against the Cardinals last Sunday, Westbrooks made his first career start in place of Hayes — who was inactive — while Longacre made his season debut.

    Britt (thigh), running back Benny Cunningham (thigh) and safety Cody Davis (groin) were also listed as questionable, though all three participated in at least part of Friday’s practice.

    If Hayes, Quinn, and Brockers are all out we have a big problem. This D is good, but they won’t survive that.

    I hope Fisher is holding those guys out just to heal up. He’s left that door open.

    The Bills appear to be without Greg Salas.

    So…

    That must be a big blow to their offense. I would think.
