Bills RB LeSean McCoy limps into playoffs with ankle injury

The Buffalo Bills could be without running back LeSean McCoy in the opening round of the playoffs.

McCoy was carted off the field with a right ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 22-16 victory at Miami.

After being tackled, he pounded the turf with his fist as trainers attended to him. He had 10 yards on 11 carries, giving him 1,138 yards rushing on the season.

McCoy's injury might be the most significant one to watch heading into wild-card weekend. The Bills (9-7) play at Jacksonville (10-6) on Sunday.

It will be Buffalo's first postseason game since the 1999 season. The Bills ended the longest playoff drought in North American pro sports.

Buffalo right tackle Jordan Mills (ankle) was helped off the field late in the second quarter.

Arizona tight end Jermaine Gresham tore his right Achilles against Seattle, creating doubt about his ability to return in time for the start of the 2018 season.

Jacksonville safety Barry Church (hamstring) left the loss at Tennessee in the second half and did not return.

Detroit running back Theo Riddick (ribs), cornerback Teez Tabor (shoulder) and safety Don Carey (knee) were hurt against the Packers.
