It looks like LeSean McCoy likely will play on Monday night. He did some work on practice all week – limited work – and the team is listing him as questionable.
More notably, Rex Ryan says he expects McCoy will play. "I feel like he's really close," Ryan said after Friday’s practice. "Hopefully ... I'm thinking he's going."
With McCoy being gimpy, it would be logical for the Bills to spell him more than usual with Mike Gillislee, who’s a pretty capable backup. But Ryan indicates he doesn’t intend to be cautious. “I think if he put him out there, he's full go,” Ryan says. “He looks full go to me.”
Playing at Seattle is a less-than-desirable matchup, but the Seahawks will be without two key defenders – Michael Bennett and Kam Chancellor. They’ve allowed 100-yard rushers two weeks in a row, including letting Tim Hightower run for 102 yards on Sunday.
The Bills are listing standout defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (groin) as out. They’ve got Charles Clay (knee), Robert Woods (foot) and left tackle Cordy Glenn (ankle) as questionable. Clay and Woods have been limited participants in practice all week, while Glenn has practiced the last two games – all three should be in uniform.
For the Seahawks, no Bennett or Chancellor, and Thomas Rawls and Luke Willson have also been ruled out.
Left tackle Bradley Sowell (knee) is questionable, and it looks like he’ll probably return. He was a limited participant in practice all week.
