Bills running back LeSean McCoy is prepared to return from a hamstring injury as Buffalo goes to Seattle for an essential Monday night game against the Seahawks.

Bills running back LeSean McCoy sounds like he has little doubt about his ability to return from a hamstring injury and play on Monday night against the Seahawks.

“I feel good,” McCoy said, via the Buffalo News. “Mentally, I feel great. . . . Just getting over that step of, ‘if I make this hard cut, will I feel it?’ I did it today, different runs. So I’m ready to roll.”

McCoy suffered the injury in practice in Week Seven and tried to play through it but managed just eight carries for 11 yards before he re-aggravated it during that week’s game. He sat out Week Eight but now expects to play in Week Nine, especially with the Bills playing on Monday night, giving him one extra day of rest.

“As a competitor, how I am, I want to go out there and play so I won’t regret it. I feel a lot better today than in the past,” he said.

The Bills’ playoff hopes are rapidly slipping away and a third straight loss on Monday night could be a devastating blow. They want their best offensive playmaker at 100 percent for Monday’s crucial game.
