NFL Media’s Jeff Darlington reports that Colt McCoy will be listed as the Redskins’ No. 2 quarterback tomorrow behind starter Kirk Cousins.

This is a slap in the face to their former first round pick Robert Griffin III.  The Redskins are paying RG3 16 million to ride the bench.  That is a huge amount to a third string quarterback. The team might want to cut him at this point if they cannot find a suitor.

McCoy prepared for the backup job for the past two weeks while the team was game planning for the Miami Dolphins, per Darlington.
