Coach Jay Gruden noted Tuesday that, for now, Washington will refrain from placing McCoy (fibula) on injured reserve, with the hope that the QB could return before the end of the team's season.
The team's final regular-season contest is Dec. 30, and a return before then seems unrealistic for McCoy. That said, at 6-6, Washington is in the NFC playoff hunt, and if the team qualifies for the postseason, McCoy could re-enter the team's QB mix.
