Redskins’ McCoy awaits clearance for start

Colt McCoy will start at quarterback for the Washington Redskins on Sunday against the New York Giants provided that he is medically cleared to play.

McCoy suffered a neck injury during the fourth quarter of last Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Rams on a sack by defensive end Robert Quinn. Tests this week indicated that there was no structural damage.

The sack was one of six against McCoy by the Rams.

McCoy was able to practice on Wednesday and Redskins coach Jay Gruden said McCoy looked good during Thursday’s practice. But if he can’t go Sunday, Robert Griffin III will start.

“I threw the ball well,” McCoy said. “It never was a shoulder. I’m just dealing with a little aggravated disc, an aggravated nerve in my neck. If that calms down, we’ll be fine.”

McCoy was told by doctors that there’s no additional risk of injury.

“I’m doing a lot better,” McCoy said. “It has to continue to calm down. But I’ve seen significant recovery over the last few days.”

The Redskins (3-10) have lost five straight games.
