‘If Allen isn’t ready to go, that means it would be a Nathan Peterman-Josh McCown matchup. That’s something that won’t be known until later in the week, when the Bills have a chance to see how Allen makes it through practice.’

Vic Carucci: LeSean McCoy’s silence hardly befitting of Bills team captain
‘Just as with his fellow captains — Kyle Williams, Lorenzo Alexander, Patrick DiMarco, Stephen Hauschka and Taiwan Jones (before he landed on the injured-reserve list) — McCoy needs to be front and center.’
There’s a chance Josh Allen could play Sunday vs. Jets
‘“Things were just starting to slow down for me, so I’m anxious to get back out there and see if that continues. With the help of (those around me), I think it will,” Allen said.’
Frustrated Bills’ LeSean McCoy, stuck in worst season of career, has gone silent
‘”In 10 years (in the league), I mean, I’ve had bad games, but just the flow of the season and everything, it’s just bad,” McCoy said after the Bills lost to the Patriots, 26-9. “I had a 4-12 season before, but this just feels different. … I ain’t (playing) good.”‘
Bills’ Josh Allen ready to jump-start offense and 6 more things he said at first practice back
‘”I definitely think we’re really close and a lot closer than what people think. People tend to see the scores that have been put on and there are a few games that got out of hand, for sure, but as a team, we’re very close. Taking care of the football is our main priority and when we can do that, we’re going to be in football games because of our defense. They’re playing really well. In turn, offense, we’ve got to protect the football, continue to move the ball on third down and move the chains. When we can do that consistently, that’s when we’re going to start seeing this thing get reversed.”‘
Sam Darnold likely out vs. Buffalo Bills in Week 10 (report)
‘Darnold, the No. 3 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, was spotted in a walking boot on Wednesday. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reported that the rookie signal caller has a ‘significant’ foot sprain that will likely keep him out of action this week. Darnold is coming off one of the worst outings of his pro career after throwing four interceptions in a loss to the Miami Dolphins. Through nine weeks, Darnold leads the league in interceptions (14). Replacing Darnold at quarterback will be Josh McCown.’

Bills’ McCoy not talking as production keeps dropping
‘McCoy hasn’t formally addressed the media since acknowledging he’s never been through as bad of a stretch as this in his life, following a 25-6 loss to New England on Oct. 29. After gaining 12 yards on his first carry against the Patriots, McCoy combined for just 1 more yard on his final 11 attempts of the game.’
Darnold, Allen expect to sit as Jets host Bills
‘”We’ve got to do a better job starting up front,” McDermott said. “You can have all the different plays that you want, but at the end of the day, it’s a man versus man game and you’ve got to move a guy off the ball. You’ve got to play with great fundamentals and technique, and that’s really where it starts. It’s a mindset.”‘
Allen ‘limited’ but throwing at practice
‘Allen was listed as “limited” by head coach Sean McDermott prior to Wednesday’s session, and although he was sporting a fairly large brace over his right elbow, he appeared to have a full workload of passes during the individual positional portion of practice the media was allowed to watch.’
Report: Darnold will not play versus the Bills
‘Darnold was reportedly spotted in a walking boot and missed practice Wednesday, and is now considered out on a “week-to-week” basis. Veteran quarterback Josh McCown would start for the Jets this week after the team had traded Teddy Bridgewater to the New Orleans Saints in the preseason.’
Allen provides boost to Bills
‘“I don’t think it’s affected me negatively at all. I actually think it was kind of a blessing in disguise,” Allen said while addressing the media at the AdPro Sports complex.’
McDermott previews Sunday’s game against the Jets
‘As far as the other injuries Chris Ivory (shoulder), Charles Clay (hamstring), and Trent Murphy (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. Veterans Lorenzo Alexander and Kyle Williams will not practice Wednesday and are being given a rest day. Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds remains in concussion protocol but will practice on a limited basis. Also limited at practice on Wednesday will be wide receiver Andre Holmes.’
Darnold to miss game against Bills
‘That’s according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rappaport. Rappaort says Darnold was seen today in a walking boot with an injury to his foot. Darnold was coming off one of his worst games as starter against the Dolphins last Sunday when he threw four interceptions.’
