Tolbert (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be his third straight missed game, as Travaris Cadet will continue to back up LeSean McCoy, and with his recent strong sub duty perhaps continue to eat into Tolbert's standing on the depth chart.

Tolbert (hamstring) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tolbert looks iffy, at best, for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If he's unable to suit up for the contest,Travaris Cadet would serve as LeSean McCoy's backup once again, an assignment that would give Cadet modest utility in PPR formats, given that he's combined for nine carries for 45 yards and nine catches for 60 yards over the Bills' last two outings, both of which Tolbert missed.

Tolbert (hamstring) won't take part in practice Wednesday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tolbert opened last week with a limited practice before ultimately missing his second straight game due to the hamstring injury, so his lack of participation in Wednesday's session doesn't speak well to the progress he's made in his recovery. He'll probably need to log at least a limited session Thursday or Friday in order to avoid a third consecutive absence Sunday against the Patriots. Travaris Cadet would serve as the backup to LeSean McCoy in the event Tolbert misses another game.

Tolbert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Joe Buscaglia of 7 ABC Buffalo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tolbert practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, but that was the only activity he got in over the last two weeks, so he will sit out for the second time in as many games. With Tolbert out for Week 12, LeSean McCoy should receive the short-yardage work Tolbert generally sees, and Travaris Cadet will assume the backup running back duties for the second straight week.

Tolbert (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Tolbert's role backing up LeSean McCoy has yielded modest fantasy production of late, and if he is forced to miss another game, Travaris Cadet (who caught six passes in Week 11) would be in line to serve as McCoy's backup Sunday afternoon against the Chiefs.

Tolbert (hamstring) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tolbert wasn't able to practice in any capacity before being ruled out for the Week 11 loss to the Chargers, so his limited involvement in Wednesday's session amounts to a step forward. If Tolbert is healthy enough to play Sunday against the Chiefs, he could unseat Travaris Cadet for primary backup duties behind LeSean McCoy, though Cadet could retain a role on passing downs.

Tolbert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Tolbert's lack of availability for the contest isn't a surprise after he failed to practice Wednesday through Friday. His absence leaves Travaris Cadet as the lone healthy running back behind starter LeSean McCoy.

Tolbert (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tolbert has one more chance to hit the practice field this week, but if he is unable to go Sunday against the Chargers, Travaris Cadet would be in line to serve as LeSean McCoy's top backup this weekend.

Tolbert has a hamstring injury and did not practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Between the injury and the lack of production -- he's averaging just 5.0 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks -- Tolbert's value is far beneath what it was entering the season, when it was thought that he might serve as a goal-line and short-yardage option.

Tolbert carried two times for minus-2 yards during Sunday's blowout loss to the Saints. He also caught both of his targets for 17 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Tolbert hasn't passed 20 yards from scrimmage in any of the last three games, as the Bills continue to rely almost exclusively on a healthy LeSean McCoy. There was originally some promise that Tolbert might get most of the goal-line work this season, but he's been shut out of the end zone from Week 2 on, both in the running and passing games.
