I am told it is not a recent injury, it happened nearly 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 nearly got the index finger of his right hand hacked off in a fire wood chopping accident in Texas.

JACKSONVILLE, Texas—Backup Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh McCown may want to stick to throwing footballs and stay absent from chain saws.

McCown needed six stitches to the index finger on his right hand a couple

of weeks ago when he was injured while he and his brother, Luke, were cutting firewood.

According to an Associated Press report McCown told Tyler, Tex. television station KETK that he was holding the firewood and his brother Luke, a backup quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, made the mistake of cutting his finger instead of the firewood.

McCown needed six stitches to the index finger on his right hand.

I will be calling the Dolphins to get some sort of reaction, assuming they know what’s going on.
