The Bills on Friday ruled RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, along with CBs Phillip Gaines (elbow) and Taron Johnson (shoulder), RB Taiwan Jones (head) and WR Ray-Ray McCloud (knee). DE Shaq Lawson (hamstring) was ruled out.
Delicia Cordon, who has sued LeSean McCoy, says other women have contacted her about alleged abuse and "other aggressive behavior" by the Bills running back.
Despite getting roughly 10 stitches to his forehead, Jones might even be able to play Sunday in Minnesota, a week after a scary hit on a muffed punt.
Bills RB Taiwan Jones said Wednesday he received about 10 stitches in his head after being hit with his helmet off in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin was limited in practice Wednesday with a hip injury, but he said Thursday the injury isn't affecting him "at all" and he's "full go." Benjamin was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice.

These seven winless teams are playoff long shots, but it can be done. Let's sort in order of their chances of returning to respectability.
Bills RB LeSean McCoy said Wednesday that he will decide by Friday or Saturday whether he can play Sunday against the Vikings. "[I'll see] if I can actually go out there and run full tilt, full speed with no pain,” he said. “But it might be some pain. I'll have to deal with it.” McCoy said running with pain is the bigger issue than being tackled after what he estimated to be about 20 carries in a game. He said he would wear protective equipment over his damaged rib cartilage -- which he heard "crack" when center Ryan Groy fell on him Sunday -- if he plays. He was listed as limited in practice Wednesday.
The now-retired cornerback 'feels great. I haven't felt like this in ... well, in my whole life.'

Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ribs) and WR Kelvin Benjamin (hip) will both be limited in practice Wednesday.
The Bills' season risks going off the rails without LeSean McCoy, who has a painful rib cartilage injury that might require some rest.
Bomani lets loose on Vontae Davis retiring mid-game (:39) as well as the Browns giving up on Josh Gordon and sending him to New England (17:29). Plus, kicking the 0-2 teams while they're down (31:14), a fresh edition of IYHH (44:22) and your stories of when you "quit" your job mid-shift just like our man Vontae (55:38).
Bills safety Micah Hyde reflects on one of the most unique stories in recent NFL history, his teammate's abrupt decision.
People are offended that his career didn't end the way 'it should have.' But the Bills cornerback is a grown man
Bills coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said on Monday that they have yet to speak to cornerback Vontae Davis following his abrupt retirement during Sunday's game but "wish him nothing but the best."
Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday that he and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier are "still working through" who will call plays moving forward after McDermott took over defensive play-calling from Frazier in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. "Either way, Leslie is going to be a big part of what we're doing," McDermott said. Frazier said the two have collaborated on the defense already and "this really won't be any different."
Bills' injury report Monday, per coach Sean McDermott: RB LeSean McCoy (ribs, day-to-day), RB Taiwan Jones (no concussion, bruises and cuts), WR Ray-Ray McCloud (knee, will continue to practice), CB Phillip Gaines (dislocated elbow, chance he could play Sunday), CB Taron Johnson (shoulder, day-to-day), DE Shaq Lawson (hamstring, day-to-day).
The 0-2 Bills have a built-in excuse because of their quarterbacks, but that's doesn't explain abysmal performances by the defense and special teams.
Bills CB Phillip Gaines disclocated his elbow in Sunday's game, a source said, but there is hope that with treatment he will be able to play next Sunday in Minnesota. Bills need Gaines in starting role after Vontae Davis' retirement.
