    Giants’ Colt McCoy: Week 13 start awaits

    Colt McCoy is on track to start at quarterback Sunday against the Seahawks with Daniel Jones (hamstring) listed as doubtful for the contest, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.Though Jones was able to make it back on the practice field Friday as a limited participant, McCoy still handled the first-team offense reps for the third straight day, according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. The New York Giants thus appear poised to proceed with McCoy as No. 1 signal-caller Week 13, marking the 34-year-old’s first NFL start since Week 5 of the 2019 season, when he was with Washington. As Vacchiano points out, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said that a Giants offense without Jones would likely be ran more conservatively, so expect a number of short-yardage throws from McCoy and runs from Wayne Gallman to be dialed up as long as the game flow allows for it.

    Giants’ Colt McCoy: Taking first-team reps

    New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said Colt McCoy will handle most of the reps with the first-team offense at practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.With Daniel Jones tending to a hamstring injury, McCoy will cover for the second-year signal-caller during his recovery period. In this past Sunday’s win against the Bengals, McCoy came on in relief of Jones and completed six of 10 passes for 31 yards and compiled seven yards on five carries. If Jones sits out this weekend at Seattle, McCoy is slated to start his first game since Week 5 of last season with Washington.

    Giants’ Colt McCoy: Completes six passes in relief

    Colt McCoy completed 6 of 10 pass attempts for 31 yards and carried five times for seven yards during Sunday’s 19-17 win over the Bengals.McCoy, who entered the game after Daniel Jones (hamstring) went down with an injury, was rather conservative as a passer while the team leaned on the defense and running game to grind out the win. Jones appeared to be in a great deal of pain and seems to be in danger of missing next Sunday’s matchup with the Seahawks. That would presumably propel McCoy into the starting role, but he performed poorly in his only extended action against the Patriots earlier this season and would be a relatively risky fantasy play if given the nod.

    Giants’ Colt McCoy: Joins G-Men for backup gig

    Colt McCoy is signing with the New York Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.The Giants also have Alex Tanney under contract, but McCoy should be in good position to win the No. 2 quarterback job behind starter Daniel Jones.

    Redskins’ Colt McCoy: Stays behind in Texas

    Colt McCoy did not return to Washington with the team after Sunday’s 47-16 loss in Dallas, Michael Phillips of Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.This may just be a matter of convenience for a player with roots in Texas, but it could also be taken as a sign that McCoy either plans to retire or will join a new team for 2020. The 33-year-old made his lone appearance of 2019 in a 33-7 loss to the Patriots back in Week 5, completing 18 of 27 passes for 122 yards, with no touchdowns, an interception and six sacks. McCoy’s contract will expire at the start of the new league year unless he signs an extension beforehand. His overall track record hints at a competent No. 2 quarterback, though his three starts within the past five years were somewhat less promising.
