McCoy left Sunday’s tilt on the second play of the game after suffering a head injury in Sunday’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
The 30-year-old back must be fully cleared from concussion protocol in order to participate in Monday night’s divisional tilt versus the New England Patriots. Getting in a limited practice Thursday is a positive sign, but there are more barriers to pass moving forward.
If Shady can’t play, Chris Ivory would be in line to carry the load again for the Bills’ backfield. In last week’s blowout loss, the bruising back compiled 81 yards on 16 carries with McCoy out.
