Jay Gruden Redskins Presser: We’re paying Colt McCoy pretty good to be our backup, for a reason.

Jay Gruden spoke to reporters today as the Redskins adjust to Colt McCoy as their new starting QB following Alex Smith’s season-ending leg injury. The Redskins are on a short week as they prepare for Thursday’s away game against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. There were no real injury updates, but no one has been ruled out yet.

Colt McCoy also answered questions from the media. He talked about the opportunity to start, visiting Alex Smith, his last game, and his future. McCoy gets his first start since 2014 this week against the Cowboys.
