Those Darn McCown’s
Seems little Luke and Big Josh were out in the wild 2 weeks ago and well Luke had very bad aim (nothing new). Seems Luke missed the piece of wood with a Chainsaw and cut Josh’s hand open and Josh had to get stitches. Josh said nothing is wrong but it still brings up doubts about how he will perform. This does make Becks chances better for the starting job but the Dolphins feel it won’t make much of a difference.
I am told it is not a recent injury, it happened almost two weeks ago. I am told the wound is healing nicely. I am told Josh McCown should be ready for the start of training camp practices July 26th.
But it is true. The guy almost got the index finger of his right (throwing) hand hacked off in a fire wood chopping accident in Texas.
McCown needed six stitches to the index finger on his right hand a couple of weeks ago when he was injured while chopping wood with his brother Luke.
According to an Associated Press report McCown told Tyler, Tex. television station KETK that he was holding the firewood and his brother, a backup quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, made the mistake of cutting his finger instead of the firewood.
McCown told the station of the incident/accident during a recent interview. Again: He is fine. He shouldn’t miss any training time. But that speaks only about his hand.
My greatest concern now is how is McCown’s head because it cannot possibly be working very well when it allows him to put his hand in the path of a chainsaw knowing that the only way he makes a living is using that hand to throw a football.
Update: The Dolphins are aware of the accident and are not worried about it because they believe it is not serious.
Like Armando Said, although I’m not his biggest fan. Who knows what this hand injury will do to his mentality. Will it change his throw? Will it do anything? But heres what McCown had to say.
Quarterback Josh McCown said he’s ready to compete for the starting quarterback job, despite suffering a cut on the index finger of his throwing hand two weeks ago that required six stitches.
“Everything’s fine. It’s a non-issue,” McCown said today. “I could have played the day it happened. Now, it’s like it never happened.”
McCown admitted he “was a little concerned” about his right index finger at the time of the injury.
But to make sure he was OK, McCown said he grabbed a football moments after leaving the hospital and played catch with his brother Luke in the parking lot.
McCown said the finger was sore for five or six days. “But now it’s back to normal,” he said.
