UT trainer talks about McCoy's injury
"Colt sustained a nerve injury involving his right (throwing) shoulder that prevented him from returning to the game. The injury caused numbness and weakness in his arm that prevented him from throwing with the strength or accuracy he needed. He wanted to go back into the game but with the weakness he was having in the shoulder, we couldn't clear him to do that. The weakness in his shoulder also put him at risk of greater injury. From the time of the injury, we were continually treating and re-evaluating him but he wasn't able to regain the strength he needed to get back on the field."
The good folks at Inside Sports Medicine, on ESPN 103.3 FM, talked about McCoy's injury this morning.
