Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy says he’s making progress with his right ankle injury but his status is uncertain for Sunday’s AFC wild-card playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
McCoy spoke to the media on Thursday for the first time since suffering the injury in Sunday’s 22-16 win over the Miami Dolphins. He has yet to practice this week

”I’m definitely happy with how things are working out so far, but there is a lot more room for improvement, especially with where I want to be,” McCoy said. ”I know my body, I know myself

”It’s been feeling a lot better. I’m out of the boot and I can walk around without any pain. So that’s a plus.”
McCoy has been Buffalo’s most explosive and most consistent playmaker, finishing the year with 1,138 rushing yards and six touchdowns. His absence would leave a hole in Buffalo’s offensive attack; the Bills finished the regular season with the 31st-ranked passing attack in the league.
”I just want to be able to cut well enough where I don’t have a lot of pain when I’m cutting,” McCoy said. ”I just want to be close or the best as far as 100 percent as I can get. But the type of game like this, you’ve got to lay it all on the line. If I can’t get 100 percent

McCoy was quick to mention previous times when he tried to play through injuries in Buffalo and had limited success. McCoy has attempted to play through hamstring injuries in each of the past two seasons. Each time, his production significantly dropped.
”I don’t want to make any promises,” McCoy said.
The Bills have no established running back behind McCoy on the depth chart. Marcus Murphy was promoted from the practice squad ahead of the Week 17 win over the Dolphins, rushing for 41 yards on seven carries. Buffalo also has veteran fullback/running back Mike Tolbert.
”I think we’re moving in the right direction,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said of McCoy. ”Will we be able to get there in time? We’ll see.”
In what will go down as one of the most shocking transactions in recent NFL memory
Authentic Jordan Reed Jersey , the San Francisco 49ers have landed star cornerback Richard Sherman - signing the four-time Pro Bowler to a three year contract worth $39 million.ESPN's Josina Anderson and Adam Schefter broke the news:Richard Sherman tells me his 3-year deal is worth up to $39.15M.
https://t.co/irXPXGT8f3— Josina Anderson (@JosinaAnderson) March 11, 2018The signing came a day after the arch-rival Seattle Seahawks opted to cut ties with Sherman, who played in the Pacific Northwest from 2011-17. Though still playing as a top-notch corner, Sherman is turning 30 years of age and coming off a torn Achilles. Releasing Sherman was the latest move by GM John Schneider, who's trying to rebuild an ageing and expensive defense.San Francisco had over $70 million in salary cap space

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo received a five-year extension worth $137.5 million - so the addition of Sherman is a further sign that the 49ers feel ready to go for it once again.
