Despite having recently signed a contract to play football for the Texans Womens Lamar Miller Jersey , Matt Kalil admits he’s currently unable to actually do that."One of the only “name” players the Houston Texans signed in free agency this year was former Carolina Panthers tackle Matt Kalil. As we’ve all read, he didn’t come cheap and nothing about signing him gives anyone the warm fuzzies that he’s going to be the savior of Houston’s offensive line woes. Now the fine folks over at NBC are reporting Kalil isn’t even capable of taking the field at this point - something you’d think a team physical would have made apparent. NBC’s Josh Alper:The best part of the article comes in later on:All the more reason that Jonah Williams gets my vote for Houston’s #1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. That is, if the Panthers don’t nab him first.One thing you read over and over again when checking into Williams is just how smart this cat is, and that’s the sort of thing you want in a tackle when it comes to protecting the franchise (a/k/a Deshaun Watson). Is Kalil the answer? Or is he a reply to a question we don’t want to ask? Don't count out LeSean McCoy just yet.Though the Bills running back missed practice Wednesday to nurse a sore left hamstring, McCoy told The Associated Press there's a chance he'll play in Buffalo's home game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday."I want to try to get in a couple of good games before it's over," McCoy said, before leaving the locker room.McCoy winked as he said that in a clear reference acknowledging he's running out of time to make any semblance of an impact in what could become the worst season in his 10-year career.He's topped 100 yards rushing just once, scored twice and managed just 479 yards rushing. That's 258 yards shy of his career low in 2009 Womens Keke Coutee Jersey , when he had just four starts in 16 games during his rookie season in Philadelphia.McCoy's playing status against the Lions is cloudy for various reasons.For one, he's injured. McCoy had just 1 yard on two carries and also dropped a pass in playing nine snaps before being sidelined in a 27-23 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.With Buffalo (4-9) out of playoff contention, the Bills are also focused on evaluating their youth over their final three games.Undrafted rookie running back Keith Ford was promoted off the practice squad in a move coach Sean McDermott said was based on merits."Keith, for a rookie, has worked extremely hard since Day 1, and continues to earn the right, so we brought him up this week," McDermott said.As for McCoy D.J. Reader Jersey , McDermott would only say "we'll just take it one day at a time right now" when asked if he expects the veteran to be able to practice this week.McCoy was a limited participant during the team's pre-practice stretching period. He then jogged lightly off to the side once practice began.Backup running back Chris Ivory practiced fully after hurting his left shoulder in the fourth quarter against the Jets. The Bills also have a fourth running back on their roster, rookie Marcus Murphy.While McCoy and the rest of the running backs have struggled, rookie quarterback Josh Allen has suddenly become Buffalo's top running threat. Allen has combined for 335 yards rushing in his past three games, and now leads the team with 490 yards rushing and five touchdowns.Ford spent his first two seasons at Oklahoma before ending his college career with two seasons at Texas A&M, where he combined for 1,217 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns in 26 games.Ford learned of his promotion shortly after being informed by his father that Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll spoke highly of the running back during a news conference on Monday."He said, my name came up out of nowhere, and he was like Womens Joel Heath Jersey , 'It's kind of weird Keith, you should watch it. They think highly of you,'" Ford said. "I watched it, and not too long after that I get a call from my agent. ... It's a blessing. It's a moment I'll never forget."Daboll said he had a soft spot for Ford because of his work ethic."He's one of the guys that kind of stands in the background when we're working our reps and is asking a lot of questions," Daboll said. "He's a young guy that's trying to develop the best he can. You appreciate guys like that."NOTES: Kicker Stephen Hauschka (hip) did not practice, though McDermott said he expects him to be ready to play Sunday. ... Safety Dean Marlowe was promoted from the practice squad a day after Buffalo placed cornerback Taron Johnson on injured reserve. ... The Bills signed WR Tanner McEvoy, TE Kyle Carter and CB Josh Thornton to their practice squad.
