Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy leaves Jacksonville in walking boot

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Colt McCoy joined Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace before him in the Browns' boot brigade.
Now, with a left ankle injury that may or may not be the dreaded high ankle sprain suffered by Delhomme and Wallace, the rookie quarterback's status is in doubt.
After another valiant effort that came up short, McCoy limped off the field following Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Jaguars and into the X-ray room. When he came out, he was fitted with the clunky, gray walking boot that has become the fashion statement of the Browns' locker room this season.
McCoy, who was injured early in the third quarter on one of his six sacks, said he didn't think anything could be seen on the X-rays and he'll most likely undergo an MRI Monday.
Whether or not he should've been taken out is a matter of debate.
"I wasn't going to come out of the game," said McCoy, who was sacked three more times after the injury. "I felt like I could still do the things I needed to do. In the fourth quarter, I don't think it affected my throws. It was sore. It was bothering me, but I needed to be out there."
At one point following the injury, Browns coach Eric Mangini had Seneca Wallace warming up on the sidelines. But they decided against him.
"I have no idea why," said Wallace. "I just play when they ask me to."
After watching McCoy put the Browns on top, 20-17, with a field goal drive -- one on which he aggravated the ankle on an 18-yard run -- and then almost pull it out on his final possession, Mangini was convinced he did the right thing.
"[We] talked about that throughout the second half," said Mangini. "[We kept] looking at the decisions, looking at the throws, seeing if those were dramatically affected. He came down and had a really good drive there at the end of the game. ... I'm glad I stayed with him."
Once again, McCoy showed some Brian Sipe-like moxie on his final two drives to almost save the Browns from the embarrassment of blowing six takeaways.
After the Jaguars tied it, 17-17, with 3:34 remaining, McCoy hit underused tight end Evan Moore with a 38-yarder down the right side. Three plays later, McCoy scrambled 18 yards and out of bounds at the Jaguars 18, but limped severely afterwards. Following a 7-yard sack, Phil Dawson kicked the 41-yarder to make it 20-17 with 2:46 remaining.
In retrospect, McCoy said he shouldn't have run out of bounds and stopped the clock.
"Looking back, you should probably slide," he said. "That was the last thing in my mind. I didn't know how slow I really was. I didn't know if somebody was behind me. That's a play I'd like to have back, I guess. But I knew we were in field-goal range and we're going to run the clock off and let's get a field goal. That's what we did. We just gave them too much time."
After the Jaguars went up, 24-20, on Maurice Jones-Drew's 1-yard TD run, McCoy took over at his own 20 with 1:16 remaining and no timeouts. Showing the same resolve that took the Jets to overtime a week before, McCoy hit Mohamed Massaquoi down the deep middle for 17 yards and then to the left for 12. Two plays later, he found Moore again for 22 yards to the Jaguars' 29. With 13 seconds remaining, he almost hit Ben Watson at the 5. But the ball glanced off the arm of safety Sean Considine, then off the chest of Watson and back to Considine.
"They're dropping everybody back, and you can't throw short routes because we have no timeouts," McCoy said. "You've just got to take a shot like that. It's risky, but that's how it has to be."
Mangini said the game would've been over if Watson had caught it, with about eight seconds left. But McCoy isn't so sure.
"Obviously, it would've been very close," he said. "Had we caught the ball, we would've snapped it and clocked it with hopefully two or three seconds left."
Still, McCoy knows the Browns should've never been in that situation in the first place.
"We didn't execute," he said. "We had short fields. Our defense played outstanding. Hats off to them. You've got to score more than 10 points off of six turnovers. But we fought up to the very end. We didn't hang our heads and it came down to the very last play."

The boot is standard garden-variety treatment for an ankle sprain, especially for the elite athlete.

I'm betting he'll be fine.

Mr. McCoy, meet your 5-gallon bucket of ice water.

While the ankl;e injury worries me. The Quotes in this article continue to make me believe Colt is the future QB of this team.

Can you imagine a DA interview after a game like that?

DA: "I felt good out there. We did our job, just came up a little short. I hit Ben but it was a bad bounce. I got the ball out pretty fast. Guys were open. We just didn't finish. Oh, well. I like to golf after a game like today, clear my head."

Let's hope it isn't the dreaded high ankle sprain and he can play next week.
