The release of both McSorley and Guarantano means that McCoy will be holding the clipboard against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. McSorley, who had the edge in experience over undrafted Washington State rookie Jarrett Guarantano, would have been the logical emergency option. As veteran backups go, Arizona could hardly ask for a better one. Arizona went 2-1 in those contests, while McCoy finished the year with a 101.4 passer rating. McCoy made three starts in place of Murray last season and performed well.
"By game week, I expect him to be full go," head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters. However, Arizona was confident that the 35-year-old would be ready for backup duties. McCoy had been dealing with arm soreness early in camp and did not make an appearance during the preseason. Kyler Murray's backup, Colt McCoy, should be ready to roll in Week 1. While the release of McSorley doesn't mean a ton by itself, it does suggest the Cardinals have good news on the quarterback front. On Tuesday, the Arizona Cardinals waived quarterback Trace McSorley, a three-year veteran who the team picked up last November.
