McCoy, once healthy, will return as the top back after rushing for 895 yards in just 12 games last season, while Williams served as an explosive complement to McCoy in his rookie season.

Another major question with this signing is who will be the Bills number two running back once Karlos Williams is finished serving his four-game suspension?
“I’m here, I’m ready to go”, Bush said.
The negotiations were completed after Bush traveled to Buffalo to take a physical and then met with Bills officials at their training camp facility outside Rochester. His last 1,000-yard season was in 2013, his first of two seasons with the Detroit Lions after a two-year stint in Miami. “We’re bringing him in to do specific things with him offensively, put him in certain packages, but I want him fresh and quite honestly I want to put a little fear out there [in] defenses”.
But beyond taking hand-offs, the versatile Bush could address the Bills’ need for a kick returner on special teams.
In 2015, LeSean McCoy caught 18 passes – and racked up 156 yards – thrown behind the line of scrimmage and 13 – for 121 yards – between one and 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
Escorted by Bills pro scout Gerald Dixon, Bush said hello to a couple of Buffalo players as he walked toward the team parking lot. “So, it’s sad that it happened because of that, but I’m going to be back”.
Is Reggie Bush more than just a big-name insurance policy in Buffalo? “That certainly wasn’t our strength previous year”.
“(Practice) felt good”, Bush said. I know it will come. He has returned just 100 punts for 781 yards, but does have four touchdowns. He and the Dolphins said the latest injury isn’t serious, but his absence comes at a position already filled with uncertainty.
As if it weren’t obvious, Ryan loves big-name running backs.
