'“And I’ll be honest, I was wanting to stay but I was like if this thing’s in delay for a couple of hours, there’s no way,” Ryan said “We've got to get back and the radio wasn’t working so I called my brother, who actually did not go with us.”'

'Salas appeared in Buffalo's first two games and caught four passes for 89 yards and one touchdown in Week 2 against the New York Jets. Later that week, Salas suffered a groin injury at practice. The injury kept Salas out of action for the next two weeks before the team shut him down on October 7 and placed him on the injured reserve.'

'"I mean, it almost was a perfect situation for us," Ryan said. "Obviously having a Monday night game, all of our work, regardless of if it was the Cubs being Game 7 or not, if there was work to be done, by gosh I would have stayed and done the work. It worked out perfect where I was able to get out and scrounge up some tickets late and get down there, so it was good. I took a bus, we had a little bus trip down there. It was good."'

'Taylor always has been been put in that box. You can call it the "mobile quarterback box" or you can call it the "black quarterback box." Taylor's dealt with both. After the press conference, standing outside the Bills' locker room, I asked Taylor how his ability to run, his size and the color of his skin affects how he's judged in the public eye.'

'“It’s interesting. You bring up the thing about, bringing in Percy. It’s easy to say, let’s just elevate this guy on the practice squad, let’s do that,” Ryan said. “But we’re trying to win; we’re trying to win right now. And getting Percy here I think is an indication of that.”'

'The married NFL player earlier this year allegedly enjoyed a tryst with Exposito, which resulted in the surprise pregnancy. According to TMZ, the cocktail waitress reached out to Bush months ago, and they had a discussion about a possible abortion in exchange for a sum of money.'

'"I shouldn't have reacted that way," he said.'

'McCoy was listed as a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday. The Bills will practice again Saturday before declaring McCoy's status for the game.'

'Along with Shady, TE Charles Clay (ankle), WR Marquise Goodwin (concussion), LB Jerry Hughes (hand), and WR Robert Woods (foot) were also all limited participants.'

'Lorenzo Alexander: The Bills LB, a 33-year-old journeyman, has 9 sacks in eight games after never having more than 2.5 in a season. Huh? Alexander has even drawn praise from Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who said the veteran was "one of the best players we've seen all year."'

'The Bills function best when they get on the scoreboard first. It allows them to proceed with their run game and mix in play action. An early lead will also help to keep the din at Century Link Field at a manageable level. This won’t be easy because Seattle has outscored their opponents 31-6 in the first quarter this season, but aside from a lopsided turnover margin, it’s Buffalo’s best chance for a primetime road win.'

'“The game is Monday night, so I’ve got some time,” McCoy said. “Each day I’ll progress and get better and better. So we will see later on in the week.”'

'"I feel good," McCoy said. "Mentally, I feel great. … Just getting over that step of, ‘if I make this hard cut, will I feel it?’ I did it today, different runs. So I’m ready to roll."'

'“Coach came to me a couple times – my feet were moving faster than my body wanted to move,” Harvin said with a smile. “So it was just great to get back out there and catch some balls, smell that turf, smell that locker room again, those are some things you miss. … All the guys accepted me with warm welcome.'
