The Buffalo Bills' backfield remains haggard as we approach the weekend.
Both LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Karlos Williams (concussion) missed practice again Friday, per Chris Brown of the team's official website. Both McCoy and Williams are officially out for Sunday's clash with the Titans.
Williams remains in concussion protocol.
With the injuries mounting, Boobie Dixon likely will get the start, with newly signedDan "Boom" Herron a candidate to see a heavy workload out of the Bills' backfield.
Better news for Buffalo: Sammy Watkins (calf) participated in individual drills for the second straight day. Watkins is questionable for Week 5.
"I feel really good about how Sammy has progressed," coach Rex Ryan said on Friday. "He's excited. So hopefully we'll get him back."
