UPDATE: Redskins fans got alarmed Sunday when quarterback Colt McCoy showed up at an Indy car race on crutches.
McCoy broke his leg in December on the Monday night stage against the Eagles, but was seen a few weeks later walking around the locker room without a limp.
Thus, the crutches seemed alarming.
Later Sunday, news emerged that McCoy had another surgical procedure on his leg, but is expected to be ready when the 'Skins offseason workouts begin.
Colt McCoy broke his leg in December, and a few weeks later was seen in the Redskins locker room moving around without crutches.
In fact, shortly after his injury, Washington head coach Jay Gruden said that McCoy might have played had the Redskins made the playoffs.
So it comes at a peculiar moment when McCoy was shown on Sunday moving around with the help of a pair of crutches.
With Alex Smith expected to miss at least the 2019 season after suffering his own broken leg last fall, some expected McCoy to get a chance at the Redskins top QB spot this fall.
Then, the team moved to get Case Keenum from Denver in February, which clouded McCoy's chances. Washington's top brass explained Keenum and McCoy would battle it out for the QB1 position.
Now, however, naturally the question comes if the 'Skins had to acquire Keenum because there was a setback with McCoy's recovery or another injury popped up.
Right now, there's no answer.
Jay Gruden will talk with the media on Tuesday morning during the NFL League Meetings in Phoenix. While there are plenty of topics to discuss with the Redskins head coach, now McCoy will be high on the list.
For fans worried by McCoy's crutches, keep in mind many NFL players get procedures done in the offseason to clean up old injuries or scar tissue.
It's March and the Redskins won't play a game until September. That's plenty of time.
Depending on the severity of McCoy's situation, there could be questions about his availability for offseason workouts or training sessions.
Another quarterback seems likely to join the Redskins this offseason regardless of McCoy's availability.
The team must add a passer on an affordable rookie deal, as neither Keenum or McCoy is under contract beyond this year. Alex Smith is, but it's not even close to a given he can return by 2020, despite carrying more than $20 million in salary next year.
Stay tuned. NBC Sports Washington will be on the ground in Phoenix and working to clarify the McCoy situation.
Travis Fulgham and Oshane Ximines put Old Dominion on the college football map with their stunning upset of Virginia Tech in 2018, their invitations to the Senior Bowl (the first in school history) and Old Dominion's first bowl game win.
This week, they have the chance for another check on that storied list: Being the first players from Old Dominion to have their names called at the NFL Draft.
But their roads to Old Dominion couldn't have been more different.
Fulgham, the son of diplomats, lived around the world before walking onto Old Dominion, hoping for a chance to impress the coaches. Ximines committed to Old Dominion and stuck with it, despite being highly recruited from bigger programs his senior year.
"He could have gone somewhere else, but he stuck with his commitment," Old Dominion coach Bobby Wilder said in NBC Sports Washington's 'I Am The Prospect'.
Ximines is now slated to go No. 59 to the Indianapolis Colts in the latest edition of the NBC Sports Washington mock draft. Fulgham, as the Virginia Tech team learned with his game last season, isn't one to sleep on either.
Ximines, who threw out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game this week, told News 3 WTKR that he was just trying to stay relaxed heading into the big event.
"Half the time I just have to be like Shane just relax man, we've been working our whole life for this, he told the TV station. "I'm going to be on a whole new football team come August, and I'm going to be in a camp."
His college coach's advice to his pro prospects was simple.
