Colt McCoy Status
rotoWire
McCoy (undisclosed) underwent a "minor" procedure following the 2022 season, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.
What it means:
The Cardinals could potentially be without their top two quarterbacks to begin this year's offseason program as Kyler Murray continues to rehab and recover from a torn ACL, while McCoy recently underwent a procedure to address an unspecified issue. However, Arizona's new head coach Jonathan Gannon said that McCoy "looks good" and should be ready to go, per Weinfuss. The 36-year-old pass thrower appears like he'll be limited to some capacity come March workouts, leaving David Blough (head) and Trace McSorley as the team's two remaining available signal callers.
rotoWire
McCoy (undisclosed) will be limited at the start of the offseason program, according to Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill.
What it means:
McCoy took over for an injured Kyler Murray in Week 13 but was then knocked out with a neck issue and concussion in Week 14, ending his season. It would be abnormal for a concussion to last this long, but not completely unheard of. Perhaps McCoy underwent some other sort of surgical procedure. The Cardinals need quarterback help with both Murray and McCoy recovering.

Cardinals' Colt McCoy out for Week 18, David Blough to remain starter
What it means:
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy will not play in Week 18's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
McCoy has been shut down for the rest of the season in an effort to ensure he is available for the start of the 2023-24 season. Kliff Kingsbury said Kyler Murray (knee) "probably" won't be ready for the start of next season, and Arizona is anticipating needing McCoy. David Blough will start against the 49ers on Sunday.
Blough's Week 18 projection includes 203.9 yards, 0.81 touchdowns, 0.69 interceptions, and 12.4 FanDuel points.
rotoWire
McCoy (concussion) will not play in Sunday's season finale against Atlanta, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
What it means:
David Blough will get his second start for the Cardinals while McCoy finishes up his recovery from concussion symptoms. The 36-year-old is signed with Arizona through 2023 on a contract that includes a 60 percent guarantee of his $3.75 million base salary for next season, but it's nonetheless possible the team explores new options for the backup QB role, especially if coach Kliff Kingsbury is no longer around.
rotoWire
McCoy is dealing with concussion symptoms again and won't play in Sunday's game at Atlanta, with the Cardinals instead turning to David Blough as their starting quarterback, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
The Cardinals apparently have seen enough of Trace McSorley, who completed only one of his 10 targets to DeAndre Hopkins in last week's loss to Tampa Bay. Hopkins, meanwhile, left Friday's practice early with a knee injury, potentially putting the Arizona offense in an even worse spot entering Sunday. It'll be a challenge for Blough, who was signed two weeks ago, even against a vulnerable Atlanta defense.
rotoWire
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that McCoy has cleared the concussion protocol and is in line to start Sunday's game in Atlanta, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
Following Kyler Murray's torn ACL that he sustained Week 14, McCoy got the nod under center Week 15, only to suffer a concussion that forced him out Week 16. McCoy has logged only one official practice since then -- he was limited last Friday -- but now that he's out of the protocol for head injuries he likely will be a full participant moving forward. As a result, he again will be the top QB on the Cardinals' depth chart, pushing back Trace McSorley to No. 2.
