The 30-year-old running back suffered a head injury last Sunday as the Bills lost 5-37 to the Colts. On practice, McCoy has been on and off, leaving Marcus Murphy and Chris Ivory as the only certain running backs to play. Running back Taiwan Jones will be out with a neck injury.
On Saturday, Coach Sean McDermott confirmed McCoy was still listed in the concussion protocol but was expected to play on Monday if he will have recovered. The 30-year-old has logged 244 yards this season but is also battling legal troubles involving his ex-girlfriend.
Despite his injury and average performance, the Bills aren’t ready to let McCoy go to another team ahead of Tuesday’s trade-off deadline. McCoy will be a free agent by next summer and up to three teams have made offers to Buffalo. The Bills will only allow McCoy to leave if they get an irresistible deal.
