The Tennessean reports Buffalo Bills head coach Gregg Williams said the team thinks rookie RB Willis McGahee (knee) will be able to play in the later part of the season. “That would be smart for us – to put fresh legs out there,” Williams said. He noted that McGahee is in the mindset that he’ll be ready for training camp. However, in the team’s mindset they’ll evaluate him at that time and are ready to put him on the physically unable to perform list (PUP).

We'd all like to see him out there--if he's completely, 100% healthy. Anything else is foolish.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I'd put him in games later on in the season during garbage time. Let him run it around to see what happens. But anything more would be risking another injury. Dumb.

[BillsOwnAll]

i'd only run him if hes 110%. dont risk anything we already risked getting him. lets make it mean something,

Think about it though Henry pound the defense for the first 3 quarters. Then when the defense is standing around in the fourth with there hands on there hips bring in super fast W .Mcgahee to break off some huge runs 40 - 50 yarders. What a ruthless 1 - 2 punch i hope we keep them both. I say dont try this till around week 10 or so make sure everything is 100% with the knee.

As soon as the doctors say he's ready, put him in. I don't care if that's training camp time or week 15. If he gets medical clearance, its not like the rest is going to get him in much better shape.

[Doc]

Keep him under wraps until the season finale in New England. They won't know what hit them.

Its not like he is gonna be sitting on the couch all season, this guy is staying in good shape, I hear he is constantly in the weight room. Just because you dont put him in the game, dosent mean he wont practice(he's not Terry Glenn)

I say we test him. Put him out there whenever he feels like he can go. If he gets hurt, it shows he's injury prone. If you asked McGahee when he feels ready, is he talking from his own personal vantage point or how he really is feeling. Well, then we'd see, we'd see if he really know's wat's best for himself and his body or if he just thinks he can wing'it in the NFL, lets face it he had it easy with the canes.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Though I'm concern that teams may take cheap shots aiming at his knee....

[losman2evans]

let him play in 2004-

[Jan Reimers]

I agree with HR. The medical people need to make the call on this one. When they give the OK, assuming he's in football shape, PUT HIM IN.

[BillsFanInMass]

Well its obvious there not gonna play him unless the doctors say its ok.

Is there anyone out there that thinks WG may end up a bust?
