PHILADELPHIA - According to multiple reports, Eagles back-up quarterback Josh McCown played the second half of the Eagles playoff game against the Seahawks with a torn hamstring.
McCown, 42, entered the game after Carson Wentz was injured on a viscous helmet-to-helmet hit by Seahawks lineman Jadeveon Clowney.
