Share

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills will be without running back LeSean McCoy for their season finale against the New York Jets.

McCoy (right knee) has been ruled out on Friday and will miss his second game in a row. He suffered the injury in Buffalo's Week 15 loss to Washington.

Linebacker Nigel Bradham (ankle) and cornerback Ron Brooks (hip) are out for Sunday, too.

Rookie cornerback Ronald Darby (groin) is probable and expected to play. He was also injured in the loss to Washington.

Defensive end Mario Williams (hand), safety Bacarri Rambo (knee, shoulder), quarterback Tyrod Taylor (shoulder), guard John Miller (ankle) and defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (neck) are probable.

The Jets will earn a wild-card berth with a win.

Jaguars: Yeldon out for season finale
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have ruled out running back T.J. Yeldon for the team's season finale at Houston.

The Jaguars (5-10) announced Yeldon's status Friday, adding that linebacker Telvin Smith and backup defensive tackle Abry Jones also won't play against the Texans (8-7) on Sunday.

Yeldon will miss his third consecutive game with a sprained ligament in his left knee. The team's leading rusher, Yeldon has 740 yards and two touchdowns on the ground as a rookie.

Smith, the team's leading tackler, will miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury. Jones suffered a bone bruise in his left knee last week at New Orleans.

All three players missed practice this week. So did right tackle Jermey Parnell (hamstring), but coach Gus Bradley says he will be a game-day decision in Houston.

Texans: Clowney to miss game vs. Jags
HOUSTON -- Houston outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney will miss Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a foot injury.

Coach Bill O'Brien said Friday that Clowney would sit out as the Texans try to clinch their first AFC South title and postseason berth since 2012 against the Jaguars.

Clowney was injured in the fourth quarter of Houston's win over Tennessee last week and hasn't practiced all week.

The top overall draft pick in 2014 has been hampered by injuries since he was selected by the Texans. He played just four games last season because of various injuries before having season-ending microfracture surgery in December 2014. He's been on the field much more this season and has appeared in 13 games with nine starts.

Clowney's foot has no structural damage and he should return next week.
