Tim McManus of ESPN reports that Eagles QB Josh McCown played the second half of their Wildcard game with a torn hamstring.
According to McManus, McCown is scheduled to undergo surgery for the issue next Tuesday.
It was clear that McCown was dealing with a hamstring injury that hobbled him during the game, but he managed to battle through and give the Eagles a shot.
McCown, 40, is a former third-round pick of the Cardinals back in 2002. He played for several teams including the Lions, Raiders, Dolphins, Panthers, 49ers, Bears, Buccaneers and Browns before signing a one-year, $6 million contract with the Jets as an unrestricted free agent in 2017.
The Jets brought McCown back on a one-year contract worth $10 million for the 2018 season. McCown later returned before joining the Eagles on a one-year contract last August.
McCown is in line to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and it remains to be seen whether he’ll resume his playing career.
For his career, McCown has completed 60.2 percent of his passes for 17,727 yards, 98 touchdowns and 82 interceptions. He has also rushed for 1,105 yards and 13 touchdowns.
