NFL Note - Washington Redskins McCoy, Colt
QB Colt McCoy will not be under center for the Washington Redskins in their season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a published report. The Washington Post reported that McCoy will not return with the Redskins (7-8), who are eliminated from playoff contention. Washington's postseason aspirations were dashed after its 25-16 loss to Tennessee on Sunday and wins by the Minnesota Vikings (8-6-1) and Eagles (8-7).
McCoy told reporters last week that he was hoping to play in the regular season finale against Philadelphia on Sunday (4:25 p. m. ET).
Had that been the case, the 32-year-old McCoy would have been returning for his first action since Dec. 3 when he fractured his right fibula during the final play of the first quarter of a 28-13 setback versus the Eagles. .
