Earlier in the week it looked like LeSean McCoy might miss the Bills' Week 7 game against the Dolphins. But the white-hot rusher is actually going to get a little bit of run, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora.
La Canfora reports that McCoy is expected to be active for Buffalo in Miami, but will play a "limited role."
Signs pointing to Shady McCoy at least playing in a limited role Sun I'm told. Expected to be active. Reported earlier in week he was 50/50

Previously there was some concern about McCoy playing, although as La Canfora mentioned, he did report McCoy was 50/50 to play. The running back was listed as questionable throughout the week and it's entirely likely that his role will be dependent on how the game is going.
The Bills would love to sit McCoy, let Mike Gillislee pound the ball 30 times and get out of Miami with a huge divisional win.
But if the running game isn't going and McCoy feels healthy, he could see additional run. Or maybe if something happens to Gillislee, he ends up seeing additional carries.
Regardless, it's huge for the Bills to have one of the NFL's hottest running backs available on Sunday, even if it's not in a full role.
