LeSean McCoy, Bills confident investigation won't sideline him image

While police and the NFL are still investigating LeSean McCoy's alleged involvement in an incident earlier this month, the Bills running back was in camp Thursday, focused on football.

He's confident the investigation won't sideline him, and Bills GM Brandon Beane told reporters Thursday he's confident McCoy is "ready to roll."

“We’ve communicated with (the NFL),” Beane said (via the Buffalo News). “We feel comfortable that LeSean’s going to be here and ready to roll. We don’t see that changing."

McCoy's ex-girlfriend, Delicia Cordon, claims she was assaulted and robbed in a July 10 home invasion at a house McCoy owns in Milton, Ga. Cordon's lawyer told The Buffalo News last week that her client “believes very strongly” that McCoy “had some involvement” in the home invasion.

While McCoy didn't address the investigation on Thursday, he says he's spoken with both Beane and coach Sean McDermott and they support him "110 percent."

"We had a long talk (Wednesday), and we're moving forward, we're ready to roll, as they would say," McCoy said. "And everything's just geared on making this team better. I want to be there for my teammates, my guys, my coaches. That's the kind of mindset.

"Right now, my main focus is here with my teammates, my team, trying to build together in camp to reach our goal together, and that's a championship. I'll let (the investigation) take care of itself and right now I'm just being supported with my teammates."
