McCoy’s slide ends here, following questions about his knee. According to reports, teams aren’t concerned with his healing ACL. They’re instead worried about a cartilage problem, one that could require more surgery and another year on the field missed. McCoy missed the entire 2025 season after tearing his ACL in January of 2025.
