Eagles' Josh McCown reveals gruesome hamstring injury he endured vs. Seahawks
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Josh McCown suffered a gruesome hamstring injury in last week’s playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, and details are now coming to light.
McCown was forced into the game after Carson Wentz left with a head injury. McCown was seen limping or walking gingerly at points during the game. On Thursday, McCown said in an interview on the “Thomahawk” podcast with ex-NFL players Joe Thomas and Andrew Hawkins that he tore his hamstring off the bone.
“Gotta head back over to Lincoln Financial [Field] and see if I can find my hamstring somewhere out there,” he said. “It’s still over there I think or halfway down my leg by this point.”

McCown will have surgery before beginning a six-month recovery process, according to multiple reports. It may influence his decision on whether to keep playing in 2020.

McCown was emotional when talking about his career.
“This year has been nothing short of special for me. I've really enjoyed it and have learned so much from so many people. I'm thankful to be a part of it. As far as the future goes, we'll see. I haven't made any decisions yet. I'll get with my family and talk with them. I retired once, so I know how to do that. We'll just see. I don't know yet.

To go out there and get to play in a playoff game was special. I can't thank them enough for their support. It was a heck of a ride. I left it all out there, I know that much. It is different playing at [age] 40. Your body talks to you a lot. I'll reflect on that later, but it was fun to be out there for sure.”
