Colt McCoy Injury: Browns QB Better off Missing Last Few Games

Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy would be foolish to play again this NFL season because of concussion symptoms following an illegal hit from Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison.

McCoy will not play Sunday when the Browns travel to the west coast to face the Arizona Cardinals.

There is no point in risking further injury by returning this year, and the Browns need a healthy McCoy to compete in the future.

The Browns have handled this situation terribly thus far, and should do the smart thing and let McCoy rest for the remainder of the season. 

McCoy did not even get the standard concussion test until the day after the Steelers game, which drew a lot of criticism from around the league.

Cleveland is not going anywhere this season, so there is nothing to gain by playing McCoy these final three games.

Quarterbacks are way too valuable in today's NFL to fool around with, especially when the injury McCoy is dealing with is as serious as a concussion.

McCoy was sent home four times this week after suffering from concussion symptoms such as headaches. He should not even be leaving his house, let alone going to the Browns facilities.

Over the last year in sports, we have seen far too many good players' careers be at risk of ending way too soon due to concussions and other head injuries, and the Browns must take every step in ensuring McCoy will recover well from this injury.

McCoy is a talented quarterback and the only one on the Browns roster who is capable of winning games.

With nothing to play for this year over the final three games, sitting McCoy for the rest of the season is the only logical decision the Browns can make to allow the young quarterback to be ready for next season.
