Buffalo’s LeSean McCoy says hamstring won’t keep him from playing Sunday

Though saying the injury to his left hamstring injury has not entirely healed, running back LeSean McCoy is ready to make his much-anticipated Buffalo Bills debut in the team’s opener against Indianapolis on Sunday.

“I’m ready to go,” McCoy declared at his locker following practice Wednesday. “I’m not sure I’ll be exactly 100%. But I feel good enough to go out there and compete.”

McCoy caused a major scare when he grabbed his hamstring and limped off the field during a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns three weeks ago. McCoy began working out in individual conditioning drills on the sideline a week later, and took part in his first full team practice on Friday.

The final test of the injury came during practice this week, when McCoy made a sharp cut and was then able to take off at full speed.

Coach Rex Ryan announced before practice that he expected McCoy to be “ready to roll” on Sunday.

Receiver Marquise Goodwin (broken ribs) and rookie linebacker Tony Steward (knee) are not expected to play. Receiver Percy Harvin’s status is uncertain after he was held out of practice because of a sore hip that’s nagged him through training camp.

Pierre-Paul not read to play

Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is not ready to play for the New York Giants.

Coach Tom Coughlin announced the decision Wednesday after the team examined the right hand that Pierre-Paul injured in a fireworks accident on the July Fourth holiday.

While saying Pierre-Paul was in good shape and in an outstanding frame of mind after reporting Monday, Coughlin said the team did not feel he was ready to come back. Coughlin says there is no timetable for his return.

“He’s worked pretty hard,” Coughlin said. “We actually saw a tape that showed him working. He’s done a lot of conditioning-type work. So I don’t think there’s anything to worry about there. Obviously, it’d be great if he was all healed and ready to go, but he’s not.”

No-show Chancellor is ruled out for Sunday

Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll said holdout strong safety Kam Chancellor did not show up at the team’s practice facility and won’t play on Sunday in the season opener against St. Louis.

Carroll said he is disappointed Chancellor has chosen this route to express his displeasure with his contract situation.

Dion Bailey will start at strong safety in Chancellor’s absence.

Etc.

Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery practiced Wednesday for the first time in nearly a month after being sidelined by a left calf injury.

Cleveland Browns Coach Mike Pettine called the allegations involving suspended offensive line coach Andy Moeller disturbing.

Moeller was suspended indefinitely by the team on Monday following a weekend incident at his home. On Tuesday, police released an incident report and a 9-1-1 emergency tape on which a woman claimed Moeller tried to strangle her and has been violent in the past.

The city prosecutor is reviewing an assault complaint filed by the woman against Moeller, who was not arrested.

Pettine said Wednesday that “everything about the incident is troubling.” Asked why Moeller hasn’t been fired, Pettine said the team is following internal process on conduct issues.

The Kansas City Chiefs have place offensive lineman Paul Fanaika on injured reserve and re-signed veteran linebacker Dezman Moses ahead of Sunday’s season opener in Houston.
