WASHINGTON – Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden confirms that Colt McCoy will start instead of Robert Griffin III at quarterback against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday.
In a conference call with Indianapolis media, Gruden said that Griffin would be McCoy’s backup for the game.
The Skins are 0-3 since RG3 returned to the lineup Nov. 2. Griffin has thrown 3 interceptions and has been sacked 16 times in those three losses. And the team has been held to a pair of touchdowns in their two games since the bye week Nov. 9
Gruden addresses the D.C. media Wednesday afternoon after the team’s 1 p.m. practice.
Every NFL team makes their coach available via conference call with their opponent’s local media; thus his “dress rehearsal” of announcing that McCoy will start Sunday.
WTOP’S Redskins beat reporter George Wallace will be on hand in Ashburn for Gruden and McCoy’s press conference. So stay with WTOP for updates on this developing story.
