Colt McCoy – Noteworthy – Injury
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.
D.J. Swearinger – Noteworthy
S D.J. Swearinger was released following the safety’s critical comments toward defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, according to a report Monday. Per The Athletic, Swearinger was called into coach Jay Gruden’s office on Monday and informed of his release. Swearinger confirmed the news on 106.7 The Fan later in the morning. “I don’t regret nothing, because I know I gave 100 percent from my heart,” Swearinger said.
