Gmod » Phillip Gaines carted off as Buffalo Bills have injury concerns at

short-staffed cornerback position The Buffalo Bills www.billsfootballauthentics.com , already thin at cornerback, have lost starting cornerback Phillip Gaines to an arm injury in the first quarter. After making a tackle, Gaines immediately signaled to the sideline and was eventually carted to the locker room. To make matters worse, Gaines was starting at nickel cornerbback because rookie Taron Johnson was already sidelined with his own shoulder injury. Buffalo is now down to just three healthy cornerbacks on the field.Replacing Gaines at slow corner is safety Rafael Bush, typically listed as Buffalo’s “Big Nickel”. He’s used to covering tight ends and running backs, not necessarily wide receivers.Buffalo released cornerback Ryan Carter this week and brought him back to the practice squad. Tre’Davious White has been shadowing the top receiver against the Chargers with Vontae Davis on the other side. Lafayette Pitts is seeing more time than he probably should be as the team’s depth cornerback.Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott addresses the LeSean McCoy trade rumors As the Buffalo Bills (2-3) prepare for Sunday’s important AFC clash with the Houston Texans (2-3), there has been rampant speculation that Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy could be on the move. During a press conference Wednesday, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the media about rumors that McCoy Buffalo Bills T-Shirt , Buffalo’s best offensive playmaker, has drawn interest other teams around the league. One of those speculated to be interested in McCoy’s services is the the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost Jay Ajayi for the season to a torn ACL in Sunday’s 23-21 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Before taking any questions, McDermott opened his press conference by addressing the McCoy trade rumors head-on, calling McCoy “a valuable member of our football team.” “LeSean is one of our better players. I thought he had a good game the other day. Really, we’re just looking forward to playing the Houston Texans,” McDermott said of rumors swirling around the trade of McCoy. “We get calls all the time, incoming calls happen all the time. Brandon [Beane] and I talk a lot Buffalo Bills Hats , and I won’t go into any more detail than that.”After a slow start to the season (he also missed the win over the Minnesota Vikings with a rib injury), McCoy carried a season-high 24 times for 85 yards in Sunday’s 13-12 win over the Tennessee Titans at New Era Field. That matched his rushing production through his first three games of the season. In four games, McCoy has rushed 45 times for 170 yards, to go with 10 catches for 64 yards. He has not scored a touchdown in 2018. With the Eagles, the reigning Super Bowl champions, in a position to trade for a running back with Ajayi’s season-ending injury, it makes sense for the Eagles to kick the tires on a trade for McCoy, who spent the first six seasons excelling in Philadelphia. Has McCoy heard the trade rumors or given any consideration to changing teams? “I heard about [the trade rumors]. I kind of just stay focused on the job Buffalo Bills Womens Hoodie , the task at hand. I’ll let that stuff work itself out. We’ll see what happens,” McCoy told the media. ”No, I just stay focused (on the task at hand),” McCoy continued. “I don’t pay attention to it too much, trade stuff and everything else. I should never have gotten traded (from Philadelphia) anyway, I was killing stuff, you know? I never really pay too much attention to it. This week, we’ve got the Texans; I’ll worry about that. They’ve got a good defense Womens Customized Buffalo Bills Jerseys , a lot of big name guys on that defensive line. I’ve got my hands full this week. Last week was my first week of really getting out there and running. [I’m] just trying to get some rust off, get going, play after play. It felt good.”
