Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has been dealing with a painful case of turf toe, but it sounds like he's moved past the minor injury. On Tuesday, head coach Chip Kelly joked with reporters, saying that he doesn't think McCoy will "ever play again," per CSN Philly.

Kelly went on to say that McCoy is “fine,” and that he has been practicing in full. He also said the injury is “not as big of an issue as I think anybody has made it out to be.” Kelly’s comments make sense, especially given that it’s entirely likely McCoy would have been held out of practice entirely if there was anything at all to worry about.
Fantasy Impact: It’s always notable when a player of McCoy’s caliber is dealing with injury. He’s one of the best running backs in the NFL and one of the top fantasy options this season. He’s eyeing a 2,000-yard year -- who isn’t -- and might have the skills to back it up. It sounds like this case of turf toe was as minor as everyone hoped, and fantasy owners can rest easy knowing that he’s healthy and ready to go. There’s really no reason for concern at this point.
