Horns Gone Pro » Colt McCoy

Colt McCoy could start this week against Pittsburgh, with Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace both suffering ankle injuries that may keep them out of action for Cleveland.

The rookie’s first NFL start would be a rough one, with Cleveland squaring off against the league’s #1 defense in both yardage and scoring. If Colt survives his first test and remains the starter, he’ll face four straight weeks of top 15 defenses. The schedule eventually softens for the 1-4 Browns in Week 10 (Jacksonville, Carolina, Miami, Buffalo Cincinnati).

The Browns signed Brett Ratliff off New England’s practice squad to likely serve as Colt’s backup this week.

“Sometimes opportunity knocks and if so, you have to seize it,” said head coach Eric Mangini.

With Sunday’s game a couple days away, the door is still open for Delhomme or Wallace to return or another quarterback taking the job.

Colt Shines in Final Preseason Game

Cleveland rookie Colt McCoy started for the first time and completed all 13 passing attempts for 131 yards in a 13-10 preseason win over Chicago on Thursday.

Before Thursday’s game, McCoy had completed just 15 passes for 101 yards with two interceptions and a 57.7 QB rating in his preseason campaign.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer suggested in late August that McCoy’s roster spot was not completely safe, and he risked being cut before the season even started.

The news outlet backtracked on the statement just days later, saying McCoy was expected to make the team, according to their league sources.

With the risk of being cut averted, the question turns to McCoy’s spot on the depth chart and the chances of him seeing the field this season.

McCoy will likely finish the preseason third on the Browns’ depth chart, behind Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace.

What do you think? Will McCoy see any regular season action this season?
