How are the carries split at running back?

The Buffalo Bills have tried to stagger the workload of their veteran running backs this preseason with Frank Gore starting the first game and LeSean McCoy starting the second. However, the team will have both suited up and will get time against the Lions.

The coaching staff will need to determine the best way to work Gore, McCoy and even Devin Singletary in with the starters. This will likely be the only time this preseason that all three will be in uniform so this game will be important to develop a blueprint that can help them be successful.

After the top three, all eyes will be on Christian Wade. The former rugby player has looked tremendous in limited touches and fans will be watching to see if he can make another highlight reel type play.
