Bills head coach Rex Ryan is still "cautiously optimistic" that running back LeSean McCoy will be healthy enough to start the regular season on Sept. 13, according to ESPN."I'm hoping that he'll be available to us," he said, per the report.
McCoy has been questionable to play in the team's opener against the Colts since suffering a right hamstring injury on Aug. 18 at the Bills' summer training camp.
That injury is not believed to be a tear by those close to the situation, despite other reports to the contrary in recent days.
"Apparently, that person knows more than I do," Ryan said in relation to that rumor.
McCoy took an important step forward on Friday, though. He was spotted participating in individual drills, according to ESPN's Mike Rodak. Though still kept from the full team activities, it's an important step in his progress to making an appearance in the opener.
Even with McCoy's situation is still far from clear, the man himself is confident that he will start. The Bills do enjoy some depth at the position despite releasing Fred Jackson this week. Bryce Brown, Boobie Dixon, and Karlos Williams serve a decent committee behind the presumed starter, should he be limited in carries.
