AIO Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Bills running back Willis McGahee practiced for the first time this week, and his status is unclear for Sunday's game at San Francisco. McGahee is listed as questionable after bruising and hyperextending his right knee in Buffalo's win over Cincinnati last Sunday. Coach Mike Mularkey said after Friday's workout that McGahee's availability will be a game-time decision. Backup Travis Henry ruled himself out of Sunday's game because of torn ligaments in his right ankle that forced him to miss the last three games. Third-stringer Shaud Williams, an undrafted rookie free agent, is expected to start if McGahee can't play. Joe Burns, primarily a blocking back, and Dante Brown, whom the Bills acquired Wednesday off Cleveland's practice squad, would back up Williams. McGahee has started nine games this season, with the Bills going 8-1 in those starts. Buffalo is also undefeated (6-0) when he rushes for 100 yards. McGahee has helped lead the Bills (8-6) into the thick of the AFC wild-card race after an 0-4 start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Great info!! There's still no certainty, but it's better than nothing. It at least gives me hope that McGahee will play. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
