Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden announced recently that Colt McCoy will make the start for the team on Monday night when they take on the Dallas Cowboys. However, it was also noted that he is only the starter “for now,” as there is a chance that RGIII might be able to make his return for the huge NFC East match up.
Well, that chance might be gone now.
According to a report from Dianna Russini from NBC Sports, there is no shot that the former first-round draft pick will see the field on Monday night when the team takes on the 6-1 Cowboys.
Per mulitple sources there is NO chance RG3 plays on Monday night against Dallas. #Redskins

After a shaky outing last weekend, Kirk Cousins was pulled from the game against the Tennessee Titans and replaced by McCoy, who finished 11-of-12 with 128 yards and a touchdown pass which came on his first play from the bench.
Now it seems as if McCoy will have to carry an entire 60-minute load all by himself on Monday night against the Cowboys, because the relief of RGIII will not be there.
