Unless RG3 is 100 percent, McCoy to start at quarterback for Redskins against Cowboys

Published February 05, 2015

Redskins coach Jay Gruden says that unless Robert Griffin III is 100 percent ready to return from injury, Colt McCoy will start at quarterback against the Dallas Cowboys next week.

Gruden says Monday he can't rule out Griffin, "but he still has a way's to go."

Griffin has been sidelined since dislocating his left ankle in Week 2 against Jacksonville.

Kirk Cousins took over as the starter, but he was benched at halftime Sunday, when McCoy came in and led Washington to a come-from-behind 19-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans.

If McCoy does begin next Monday night's game against Dallas, it would be his first NFL start since December 2011, when he was with the Cleveland Browns.
