Bills Pro Bowl safety Micah Hyde was labeled week to week by head coach Sean McDermott with the groin injury he suffered last Sunday. But Hyde, who did not practice with his teammates Wednesday, isn't ready to rule himself out for this weekend's game against Tennessee.
"The plan this week is to push it and see what you can do," he said. "Don't push it too far. You never know by Sunday how you might feel, especially with your adrenaline running. There's definitely a fine line. You want to go full speed on Sunday, but at the same time you don't want to push it too much so you can't play that way. So you've got to listen to your body and listen to the trainers."
Hyde, who worked on the side with the strength and conditioning staff, sees his situation a bit different than most.
"I think throughout the season in the NFL you're always injured. I see myself as being a little hurt right now," he said. "I'm going to try to go out there and put in the work every single day and make it out by Sunday. There are no guarantees. I'm not saying I'm in. I'm not saying I'm out. I just want to try to give myself a chance so by Sunday we can see."

Fellow safety Rafael Bush was also a non-participant in practice as he is sidelined by a shoulder injury. McDermott called him day to day. If both are unable to play Sunday, it could leave Buffalo very shorthanded on the back end with only Jordan Poyer and rookie Siran Neal healthy.
Bush is listed as day to day.
