McCoy didn’t play a single game in 2013 after suffering a torn left Achilles tendon. This time around, the report is that his right Achilles might be torn as well. Pro Football Talk has the word from head coach Pete Carroll:
“Early indications are he hurt his other Achilles,” Carroll said. “If it is what they think it is, it’s just a real heartbreaker. He worked so hard to get back and all. If it was the same Achilles you might understand it, but we think it’s the other one. So we’ll see what happens.”
McCoy was the team’s sixth-round selection in the 2010 draft for the Seahawks and played in all 16 games in 2011 and 2012. Unfortunately he’s going to face an uphill battle both in rehab and to remain with the team beyond the 2014 season.
Zach Miller and Luke Wilson remain the primary tight ends on the roster.
McCoy has 31 receptions for 431 yards and three touchdowns in his career.
