The Saints placed McCoy (elbow) on injured reserve Saturday. McCoy's placement on IR comes as no surprise as he was already expected to miss the Saints' final two games of the regular season due to an elbow injury he suffered against the Packers in Week 16. Shane Lemieux is expected to serve as New Orleans' starting center for the last two games of the year, starting with Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

The Saints placed McCoy (elbow) on injured reserve Saturday. McCoy's placement on IR comes as no surprise as he was already expected to miss the Saints' final two games of the regular season due to an elbow injury he suffered against the Packers in Week 16. Shane Lemieux is expected to serve as New Orleans' starting center for the last two games of the year, starting with Sunday's game against Las Vegas.
McCoy (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. McCoy injured his elbow during the Saints' Week 16 loss to the Packers. He was able to avoid a major injury, though it appears as though he will not play in the Saints' final two games of the regular season, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Shane Lemieux will serve as New Orleans' starting center due to McCoy and Lucas Patrick (knee) both being ruled out for Sunday's game.
Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Monday that McCoy does not require surgery to repair an elbow injury that he suffered in New Orleans' 34-0 loss to Green Bay on Monday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. McCoy attempted to play through the injury in the second quarter, but he was taken out of the game for a second time and did not take the field for the second half. While it appears likely that McCoy will miss the Saints' final two games of the regular season, the good news is that he doesn't appear to require a procedure to repair the injury. Shane Lemieux will likely take over at starting center for as long as McCoy is sidelined.
McCoy (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Packers. McCoy left in the first quarter of Monday's game due to an elbow injury. He briefly returned in the second frame, but he has since exited the contest and will not return. Shane Lemieux will serve as the Saints' center for the rest of the game due to McCoy's injury.
McCoy (elbow) has returned for Monday's game against the Packers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. McCoy briefly left Monday's game due to an elbow injury he picked up in the first quarter, but he has been cleared to return to the contest and will reclaim his spot at center from Shane Lemieux.
McCoy (elbow) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Saints. McCoy suffered an elbow injury in the first quarter, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. In his absence, Shane Lemieux stands to operate as the team's starting center.
McCoy (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. McCoy practiced in a full capacity Friday after opening the Saints' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting that he's moved past his groin injury in time for Sunday's contest. Expect the 27-year-old to serve as the Saints' starting center in Week 14.
McCoy (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams. After failing to log any practice reps during Week 13 prep due to a groin issue, McCoy will miss his eighth game of the campaign. With Lucas Patrick (calf) also sidelined, Shane Lemieux is in line to start at center for the Saints.
McCoy (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. McCoy aggravated a groin injury during the Saints' Week 11 win over the Browns. Though he's listed as questionable, McCoy has not practiced all week, and with Lucas Patrick (calf) already ruled out for Sunday's game, Shane Lemieux would be in line to start at center if McCoy cannot play.
