The Facts:
Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Wednesday that Mike Vick has been relegated to the No. 3 quarterback position behind rookie Nick Foles and journeyman Trent Edwards, and might not even dress for Sunday's game against the Redskins. But McCoy will start and split carries with Bryce Brown in a backfield that ranks 12th in the league in rushing.
Brown has been a mixed big, intertwining electrifying runs with drive-killing fumbles. Coach Andy Reid told reporters he decided to start McCoy after the veteran asked for another chance to play before the season winds down. Whether Reid is here in 2013 -- a shaky proposition -- McCoy will return as a valuable and core member of this offense. Stay tuned. More on this one as the week progresses.
