As if the injury to Alex Smith wasn’t enough, the Washington Redskins lost a second starting quarterback just weeks after Smith went down. Colt McCoy, the long-time, respected Washington backup, broke his fibula against the Eagles. It was a brutal injury that struck just at the wrong time. McCoy finally had his chance to start and as quickly as it came, it evaporated.
While the team is holding out hope that he can return towards the end of 2018, if necessary, they will have to survive a few weeks with Mark Sanchez as the starter.
