The Cardinals will have to look even further down the depth chart for a starting quarterback in Week 17 after Colt McCoy began experiencing more concussion symptoms, Kliff Kingsbury said Friday. As a result, fourth-year signal-caller David Blough will start Sunday against the Falcons.
Kingsbury’s latest update comes after McCoy had been trending in the right direction this week after missing last Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers. However, after clearing the league’s concussion protocol, the 36-year-old had additional symptoms show up after practice on Thursday.
Trace McSorley started last week in place of the injured McCoy, who had only taken over the reins behind center after franchise quarterback Kyle Murray tore his ACL back in Week 14 against the Patriots.
