McCown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
The 41-year-old signal-caller hasn't yet suited up for Houston since signing with the team Nov. 4, as AJ McCarron continues to back up Deshaun Watson heading into Week 16. McCown's most recent game appearance came mid-October of last year with the Eagles, but he hasn't started a game since his last season as a Jet in 2018.
