ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) – Bills running back Willis McGahee could make his NFL debut Sunday when Buffalo hosts the New York Jets.
Coach Greg Williams said Friday there is a chance the Bills’ first-round pick may make an appearance.
“Willis had a good week of work. He practiced with our offense every day this week,” Williams said. “We’ll go down to the final warm-up before we make a decision.”
McGahee has been practicing with the team since mid-October and was activated Nov. 5, but this is the first week Williams has considered putting him in the lineup.
The former Miami star underwent knee surgery after being injured during the Hurricanes’ loss to Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl in January.
Bledsoe says he’s ready
Drew Bledsoe is ready to play after shaking off the effects of a blow to the head that briefly knocked him unconscious last week. Bledsoe missed practice Wednesday after complaining of dizziness, the result of a helmet-to-helmet hit with Keith Hamilton of the New York Giants.
in the third quarter of the Bills’ 24-7 win last Sunday.
A week earlier, Bledsoe sustained a mild concussion when he was kneed in the back of the helmet in a 17-14 loss to Indianapolis.
“The last two days I’ve felt fine,” he said. “They’ve done every test they can come up with and everything is normal. I feel 100 percent.”
Backup running back Sammy Morris and starting right guard Mike Pucillo did not practice Friday. Neither is expected to play Sunday.
