Eagles Wake-Up Call: The McCoy-Brown Combo

Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy.Sunday could provide a glimpse of what the Eagles’ running attack might look like in the future.

LeSean McCoy returns to action for the first time since suffering a concussion against this Redskins team back on November 18. He will start, but is expected to be eased back in.

“I’m going to keep an eye on him. He’s not going to play the whole game, every snap of the game,” said Andy Reid. “We’ll monitor him as we go and see how he does.”

Usually when McCoy is active the backup gets very little work. But in this case Bryce Brown could be in heavy rotation.
