McCoy (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta. McCoy's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Thursday. He was able to log consecutive limited practices to the end the week, but he'll be sidelined for Sunday's contest. McCoy's next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 17.
McCoy (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday. McCoy suffered a groin injury in Week 3 against the Eagles, and he was placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery. His 21-day practice opened Thursday, and he was listed as a limited practice participant in the injury report. McCoy figures to need more time to ramp up before returning to games, but it's unclear who will the the starting center for the Saints against the Falcons on Sunday. Lucas Patrick has missed both practices this week due to a calf injury, though Shane Lemieux (knee) is closer to returning from injured reserve than McCoy. If McCoy, Patrick nor Lemieux is able to play Sunday, Connor McGovern would figure to be the starting center.
McCoy (groin) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. McCoy's move to IR was imminent, as the 27-year-old sustained a groin injury during the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Eagles that requires surgery and is expected to sideline him for the next 6-to-8 weeks. Lucas Patrick will likely assume the Saints' first-team center duties while McCoy recovers from surgery.
McCoy (groin) suffered an injury during Sunday's loss to the Eagles that is expected to require surgery and sideline him 6-to-8 weeks, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. McCoy's estimated recovery timetable likely will result in him being placed on IR, leaving Lucas Patrick to operate as the Saints' starting center until early November, at least. Until McCoy returns to full health, the Pro Bowler's absence will represent a notable blow to the strength of New Orleans' offensive line.
McCoy (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. McCoy sustained a groin injury in the first quarter, and he will not return to Sunday's contest. Lucas Patrick will serve as the Saints' center for the rest of the game while Olisaemeka Udoh stays in at left guard.
McCoy is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a groin injury, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. McCoy walked off the field slowly, but under his own power, and he went to the locker room after being looked at in the blue medical tent. Lucas Patrick has shifted over to center while Olisaemeka Udoh has come into the game at left guard.
