Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Josh McCown set a pair of NFL records Sunday with one swipe of the pen. He became the oldest practice squad player in league history at age 41, and the first active player to work remotely -- like the other side of the country remotely.
Football typically doesn't lend itself to social distancing, but McCown will be operating from his new home in East Texas, some 1,200 miles from the Eagles' practice complex in South Philadelphia. From Texas, McCown will serve as an emergency quarterback/pseudo coach/mentor to Eagles starting quarterback Carson Wentz while pulling in a cool $12,000 a week.
