September 25, 2024
McCoy (groin) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ANALYSIS
McCoy's move to IR was imminent, as the 27-year-old sustained a groin injury during the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Eagles that requires surgery and is expected to sideline him for the next 6-to-8 weeks. Lucas Patrick will likely assume the Saints' first-team center duties while McCoy recovers from surgery.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
McCoy missed five games in 2021 due to injury, and he missed four more games after signing a five-year extension in 2022. When healthy, the starting center will be a valuable asset for new starting quarterback Derek Carr.
McCoy will return as the Saints' starting center in 2022 as he continues to be a reliable anchor along the team's offensive line.
A rising third-year center, McCoy was the only Saints player to log 100 percent of the offensive snaps in 2020 and he should remain an every-down player going forward.
