McKenzie is dealing with a hamstring issue that popped up on Wednesday. It’s certainly a concerning developments, especially for a player that relies upon his speed and quick twitch movements to create separation in the passing game.

While McKenzie’s status is worth monitoring, he did offer some positivity to reporters on Thursday.

ESPN’s Bills reporter Alaina Getzenburg caught up with the Bills slot receiver after practice. McKenzie reportedly told her that he “should be fine” for Sunday’s Wild Card Round matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

Bills WR Isaiah McKenzie, who did not participate today, said that he hurt his hamstring during practice yesterday while he was running.

When I asked if he expects it to keep him from Sunday's game, McKenzie said, "Nah, I should be fine. … But we'll see the next couple days"

Buffalo does have a solid backup plan if McKenzie is unable to play. The Bills signed WR Cole Beasley off of its practice squad, putting him in line to get some work on Sunday.
