Colt McCoy throws two picks, injures hand

Colt McCoy had a rocky start to his NFL career.

McCoy, the Browns’ rookie quarterback, threw two interceptions in the Browns’ preseason opener, both of them badly underthrown balls to well covered receivers.

On the second interception, McCoy’s hand hit the helmet of offensive lineman Casey Bender, and McCoy left the game and headed to the locker room to have his throwing hand examined.

The good news is that the hand injury is not believed to be serious. But McCoy, who went 5-of-10 for 25 yards, showed that he has a lot of work to do before he’ll be ready to play in a game that counts.
