McCoy, who is competing for the No. 2 quarterback spot, said he suffered a stinger when he was tackled for a one-yard loss during the team's seventh drive of the game. He stayed in for the remainder of the series, which ended three plays later when his pass attempt to A.J. Jenkins was intercepted.
The four-year veteran, who joined the team this offseason after three seasons with the Cleveland Browns, famously suffered a nerve injury in the same shoulder during the 2010 BCS National Championship, which his Texas Longhorns lost to Alabama. McCoy said the latest injury is nowhere near as severe as that one, which was still affecting him over a year after.
McCoy played in three series during Thursday’s preseason game, going 3-of-7 for 41 yards and the interception.
