Eagles Rumors: Josh McCown Played 2nd Half vs. Seahawks with Torn Hamstring

Josh McCown's playoff performance for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday included him playing part of the game with a torn hamstring. 

Per ESPN's Tim McManus, McCown played the entire second half with the injury and is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday. 

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes McCown will need up to six months to recover from the injury:

McCown took over in the first quarter after Carson Wentz left the game with a concussion on a controversial hit from Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. 

It was the first appearance for McCown in a game since Oct. 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. The 40-year-old was the only active quarterback on Philadelphia's roster following Wentz's injury. Wide receiver Greg Ward Jr. is the team's emergency backup. 

It's not clear when McCown suffered the injury. He was sacked six times in the game and appeared to be moving around gingerly in the fourth quarter. The 16-year veteran finished 18-of-24 for 174 yards and had 23 rushing yards on five carries. 

McCown hasn't announced if he will return to the NFL in 2020. He briefly retired last June to take an analyst job at ESPN, but he wound up signing a one-year deal with the Eagles in August after backups Nate Sudfeld and Cody Kessler suffered injuries during the preseason.
