McCoy was not on the injury report Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy ended up on the injury report ahead of the Cardinals' Week 17 win over the Cowboys after suffering from a migraine last Saturday, ultimately playing in the contest. The quarterback was a full participant at practice Wednesday and therefore appears ready to operate at the top reserve option behind Kyler Murray in the team's Week 18 regular season finale versus the Seahawks.

McCoy was added to the injury report ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cowboys with a migraine and is listed as questionable, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy is the primary backup to Kyler Murray, so if he is unable to suit up, Trace McSorley would likely take over in Week 17. However, barring an injury to Murray, neither backup is expected to see the field. More information about McCoy's status will likely be given closer to the 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

McCoy is expected to serve as the Cardinals' backup quarterback Sunday against the Bears after head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Kyler Murray (ankle) will return to the lineup this week following a three-game absence, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy proved to be a capable replacement while Murray was sidelined for the past three games, despite not having top wideout DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) at his disposal for any of those contests. The veteran signal-caller guided Arizona to a 2-1 record sans Murray and Hopkins, completing 75.6 percent of his throws for 7.6 yards per attempt and a 3:1 TD:INT while adding 40 yards on the ground. Though McCoy is unlikely to see extended action again this season so long as Murray remains healthy, the 35-year-old's strong showing as a fill-in starter should be enough to earn him another one-year deal with the Cardinals or another club this offseason.

McCoy completed 35 of 44 pass attempts for 328 yards and two touchdowns against Seattle on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Kyler Murray (ankle) out again McCoy was asked to step in as starter for the divisional road matchup -- the second divisional road matchup of McCoy's three-game stint as starter. That's normally a lot to put on a backup, but McCoy did a good job and kept the Arizona offense steady throughout the decisive victory, just as he did against the 49ers in Week 9. The Cardinals get a bye in Week 12 before facing Chicago after that, and by then Murray should be able to step back into the starting lineup.

McCoy (pectoral) is active for Sunday's contest in Seattle, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kyler Murray still nursing an ankle sprain, the Cardinals will roll with the healthiest of their top two quarterbacks Week 11. McCoy was able to practice Wednesday through Friday and even capped the week with a full practice, so he should be able to gut out his own pectoral strain. However, he won't have DeAndre Hopkins (inactive/hamstring) or Chase Edmonds (IR/ankle) at his disposal, leaving A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, Rondale Moore, Zach Ertz and James Conner as the top skill-position players available to the offense.

McCoy (pectoral) is likely to make his third straight start under center in place of Kyle Murray (ankle) Sunday against Seattle, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both quarterbacks officially carry the questionable tag, but it looks as though McCoy is in a better place than Murray is. McCoy left last week's game against the Panthers with a pectoral strain and did not return. He was limited in practice during the week but is apparently likely to suit up Sunday. The Cardinals aren't expected to make a final decision until pre-game warmups.

McCoy (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
According to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, McCoy upgraded to full participation in practice Friday after limited showings Wednesday and Thursday, so the veteran signal-caller will more than likely be ready to go come Sunday. The bigger question is whether he'll pick up a third consecutive start, or if he'll revert to his customary backup role in the event Kyler Murray (ankle) returns from a two-game absence. After closing the week with a pair of limited practices, Murray is being viewed as a game-time decision, so clarity on McCoy's Week 11 role may not come until Arizona unveils its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. In his previous two turns as starter, McCoy completed 33 of 46 throws (71.7 percent) for 356 yards (7.7 YPA) and a 1:1 TD:INT.

McCoy (pectoral) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Both of the Cardinals' top two quarterbacks are dealing with injuries, with regular starter Kyler Murray also limited due to an ankle sprain. Murray has missed two games in a row due to the injury, and McCoy, who has earned starts on both occasions, was knocked out of this past Sunday's loss to the Panthers with a strained pectoral. If healthy enough to play Sunday in Seattle, Murray will direct the offense, but McCoy and Chris Streveler are the options to cover for him if he needs more time to heal.

McCoy (pectoral) was limited at practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy has filled in for an absent Kyler Murray (ankle) for most of the past two games, completing 33 of 46 passes for 356 yards, one touchdown and one interception while turning eight carries into 22 yards. However, McCoy made an early exit this past Sunday against the Panthers and eventually was diagnosed with a strained pectoral. Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that McCoy is "OK," while Murray "has just gotten better every day," but "we shall see how it progresses." Arizona's quarterback situation remains fluid, with any of Murray, McCoy or Chris Streveler potential starting signal-callers for the team Sunday at Seattle.

McCoy was diagnosed Monday with a pectoral strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCoy was removed from Sunday's loss to the Panthers in the third quarter and was unable to return to the contest. However, he doesn't appear to be dealing with a major injury, and he'll likely be available to start Week 11 against Seattle if Kyler Murray (ankle) isn't cleared to return from a two-game absence.
