Josh McCown tore his hamstring off the bone during Eagles' wild-card loss

There’s a reason Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Josh McCown struggled during the team’s wild-card loss to the Seattle Seahawks. McCown says he tore his hamstring off the bone during the contest.

The 40-year-old McCown revealed that information on the Thomahawk podcast Thursday. When asked how he was feeling after the loss, McCown revealed he tore his hamstring in the second quarter.

The relevant part of the conversation begins at the 34-minute mark.

Former Cleveland Browns lineman Joe Thomas asked McCown why he grabbed his butt during the game. McCown laughed and said he felt his hamstring pop after completing a throw. McCown said he felt a similar pop in the third quarter. He compared it to being bit by a dog. McCown said he never experienced a soft tissue injury prior to that game, and joked that it was a result of being 40.

McCown completed 18 of 24 passes for 174 yards in the loss. McCown said he couldn’t feel any power in his leg when he tried to move around on the field.

McCown later revealed that the hamstring tore off the bone. He’ll need surgery and faces a six-month recovery, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

#Eagles QB Josh McCown tore his hamstring off the bone vs #Seahawks. Surgery coming, as @Tim_McManus said. Sources say it’s a six-month recovery. He’ll basically be laid up for six weeks.

All of that might explain why McCown broke down while heading to the locker room after the game. He didn’t just lose his playoff debut after a lengthy career in the NFL, he also suffered a significant injury during the contest.

While Eagles fans are upset about the loss, McCown’s injury perfectly sums up the team’s season. The Eagles were hit extremely hard by injuries in 2019. It’s only fitting that injuries also sunk the team when it mattered the most.

Hey, in 2015 at the ripe old age of 43 I ran the last 11 or so miles of the Little Rock Marathon with a torn hamstring.

Not my wisest decision ever.

Maybe that’s one of the things he has left to prove.

Pretty certain that's not how that worked.

Where do you come up wit this nonsense?

They reported that Wentz notified the trainers he wasn't feeling right after the hit.

Yea and then he was evaluated and had a concussion. Pulling himself out would mean he made the decision he couldn't play. The league made that call.

I mean, I really don't give a shit either way, but if you take a tough shot to the head and then mention to the trainers that you don't feel right, isn't that basically taking yourself out of the game? There's only one head injury that's going to cause you to feel out of sorts and it'll always result in you getting pulled.

[TLO]

Yeah but does he play basketball in his spare time?

Which is what he should do, in my opinion. Millions mean nothing if your eggs are too scrambled to enjoy it.

No I don't see recognizing you have a concussion as pulling yourself from the game.

I mean if you tore your ACL and told someone is that pulling yourself from the game?

What McCown did is something he didn't have to do but really he didn't risk further injury. I think you know playing with a concussion could easily lead to a much worse concussion and much bigger issue long term.

I think we can agree here, it's just a semantics thing.

100%. He was well within his rights to pull himself to get checked out.

OMG! In the 2nd qtr? What a fucking trooper! Dude wanted to play in his 1st playoff game so bad...

[smithandrew051]

Must’ve been one hell of a game of Nerf locker room basketball. Damn.

[MahiMike]

Meanwhile, that pussy Wentz sits out and watches.

[Jimmya]

Ertz and McCown are bad asses... A source close to the situation confirmed an NFL Network report Sunday that Eagles tight end and leading receiver Zach Ertz has a lacerated kidney in addition to the cracked ribs he suffered early in last week's victory over Dallas.D...

[RedRaider56]

McCown is one tough SOB. Hey, it just felt like a dog was biting me...

[Mennonite]

Did they have a third string QB dressed for the game?

Stupid post

[tk13]

No. It would have been their starting WR Greg Ward.
