The news out of Austin this week on Colt McCoy's injury has been minimal and mixed. Early in the week rumors were that McCoy was throwing and practicing and now his dad is pretty much saying the opposite:
Redshirt freshman quarterback Colt McCoy sat out of practice all this week while recovering from pinched nerves in his neck and shoulder, his father, Brad, said Thursday.
"I think the coaches wanted this to truly be an off week for Colt while he rests the injury," Brad McCoy said. "But his spirits are better. He was pretty down after Saturday night."
Hopefully he was only held out for precautionary reasons and will be ready to go by next Friday. As far as I know he has been throwing with minimal pain but has not been practicing with the team. No reason to rush him back but McCoy will need snaps in practice this coming week to shake off any rust before game day.
Backup quarterback Jevan Snead did eventually settle down last week against Kansas State but I'd feel much more comfortable going into the aggie game with our Heisman-candidate quarterback at 100%.
