McCOY COULD PLAY VS. JAGS

- — The Associated Press

Bills coach Sean McDermott said medical test results on LeSean McCoy’s injured right ankle were negative, giving the running back a chance to play against Jacksonvil­le in the AFC wild-card game Sunday.

McDermott would not go into detail except to say the team received “some good news” Monday, a day after McCoy was hurt in a 22-16 win at Miami.

McCoy was hurt and carted off the field after a 3-yard run on Buffalo’s first possession of the third quarter.

The ninth-year player leads Buffalo with 1,138 yards rushing, 59 catches and eight touchdowns, including two receiving.

Overall, his 1,586 yards from scrimmage account for 33 percent of the Bills’ total.

Marrone not talking.

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone doesn’t want to talk about his short stint with — and abrupt departure from — the Bills in advance of the teams’ matchup.

“What’s past is past,” Marrone said Monday. “I’ll tell you guys the truth. This stuff happened so long ago, OK?”

Marrone led Buffalo to its first winning record (9-7) in a decade in 2014 and then abruptly quit a few days after the end of the regular season. His contract gave him a small window to walk away with the significan­t payout.

Chiefs falling ill.

The Chiefs have been dealing with an illness that has ripped through the club, forcing everyone from stars such as Justin Houston and Travis Kelce to role players such as Charcandri­ck West to miss practice or games.

“We’ve tried to quarantine the guys the best we could, get them out of the building,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said during a conference call Monday.
