Redskins' Colt McCoy fractures fibula in lower leg; Mark Sanchez in

PHILADELPHIA -- Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy suffered a fractured fibula in his lower right leg Monday night, resulting in Mark Sanchez taking over in only his second game with the franchise.

McCoy will miss the rest of the season, Jay Gruden confirmed to ESPN's Lisa Salters.

McCoy injured the leg on a scramble on the final play of the first quarter. His leg whipped over as he was being tackled and hit Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins. McCoy finished the final two plays of the series, and with the defense on the field, he walked around on the sideline and was then escorted to the locker room.
