ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Vontae Davis has moved on, and so, too, has Sean McDermott.

The Buffalo Bills coach said Monday afternoon that he has not spoken to Davis since the veteran cornerback quit the team at halftime Sunday of the Bills’ 31-20 loss to the Chargers, nor does he plan to speak to him.

“I didn’t feel a need … I’m focused on my team right now,” McDermott said. “There’s no need to address it because we’re moving on. That’s what a team does, this is not going to become a distraction moving forward. The Vontae situation, his actions have spoken, he’s retired.”

Davis quitting and retiring left the Bills in a precarious spot Sunday as they had only two healthy cornerbacks. McDermott said he and Brandon Beane will be discussing what they need to do to bulk up the position, but he did not get into specifics regarding how they would do it.

McDermott said rookie nickel cornerback Taron Johnson is progressing in his recuperation from a shoulder injury suffered in the opener at Baltimore, but “he’ll remain day to day.”

Phillip Gaines suffered a dislocated elbow in the second quarter against Los Angeles, but McDermott said he may have a chance to play Sunday in Minnesota.

The Bills have two cornerbacks on the practice squad, Ryan Lewis and Levi Wallace, but neither player has ever appeared in a regular-season game. Thus, if Gaines and/or Johnson can’t play this week, it would seem the Bills will have to go outside the organization to find at least one replacement.

As for McDermott taking the defensive play-calling away from coordinator Leslie Frazier, nothing has been decided on that front yet.

“Leslie and I are still working through that,” McDermott said. “Either way, Leslie is going to be a big part of what we’re doing.”

McDermott said it was a necessary move Sunday because he felt the Bills needed a spark, and it seemed to work.

“In terms of the play-calling, we’re going to do what we need to do to win games and improve,” he said. “We look at every corner to improve, we all have to do our job better. Nobody said this was going to be easy and that’s what we’re going through right now. We did some good things at times, obviously in the first half it wasn’t good enough; you can’t give up 28 points and give yourself a chance to win. In the second half I was very pleased with the way guys were flying around and they were having fun out there, so that was good to see.”

Frazier said, “I think it’ll work itself out.”

Elsewhere on the injury front, running back LeSean McCoy has cracked rib cartilage and his status is day to day. That’s a painful injury for a running back because they take so many hits to the mid-section, so it will bear watching as the practice week gets underway.
