LeSean McCoy's thumb 'definitely hurts'

X-rays of LeSean McCoy's thumb were negative, which is good news for the Eagles running back.

"It definitely hurts," McCoy said after the game. “But there have been times I’ve been banged up and it turns out fine. We’ll see what happens.”

McCoy said he injured the thumb a few plays prior to his 22-yard touchdown reception against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In some ways that is an encouraging sign for Eagles fans, as McCoy seemed to show no signs of injury as he carried the ball in his right hand during the scoring play.

"I was talking to him on the sideline and he seemed to be in good spirits, so I don’t think it’s a big deal," said head coach Chip Kelly after the game.

Fantasy Impact: 

We're not concerned about the thumb, though it's something to monitor over the next few days. McCoy is primed for another top 3 season.
