Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is a game-day decision for Sunday's contest against the Miami Dolphins after being listed as questionable on Friday due to a hamstring injury.

McCoy was a limited practice participant on Friday after not practicing one day earlier.

Buffalo coach Rex Ryan said the decision will likely be made on Sunday.

"We'll see how it goes," Ryan said. "We'll be smart with him, but he looked pretty good."

McCoy, who was injured during Wednesday's practice, also considers himself a game-time decision.

"I just felt all right," McCoy said of his return to practice. "I didn't do a lot of reps today. Just was real limited, just seeing how I feel. We'll see what happens (at Saturday's walk-through)."

The chances of McCoy playing seemed better Friday than they did on Thursday when ESPN's Josina Anderson reported that McCoy wouldn't play against the Dolphins and could miss additional games as well.

McCoy ranks second in the NFL with 587 rushing yards.

Mike Gillislee will start at running back if McCoy doesn't play.

Buffalo listed defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (hamstring) and receiver Robert Woods (foot) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Dareus hasn't played yet this season due to a four-game suspension prior to the hamstring injury.

In better news for the Bills, first round pick Shaq Lawson was activated from the PUP list and is expected to make his season debut.

"I think he's going to play," Ryan said. "I've seen enough. He looks pretty darn good out there. He's flying around and he looks like the guy that we drafted, the guy that we wanted him to be."

Lawson, a 270-pound defensive end taken with the 19th overall pick out of Clemson in the spring, sat out the first six games with a shoulder injury but returned to practice the first day he was eligible on Wednesday.
