 McCoy had said the Philadelphia Eagles' coach may make some of his
roster decisions based on race, hence his trading McCoy to the Bills
for linebacker Kiko Alonso in March and last year's release of wide
receiver DeSean Jackson.
Since the story was published, McCoy has not spoken to the local
media; and, when he finally agreed to do so, it was clear he didn't
want to spend any time talking about the past.
"I have nothing to say about that," he said. "I'm in Buffalo.
Everything in Philadelphia is over, and I have nothing more to say
about it. It is what it is. Everybody can make their own thoughts
and assumptions, but I'm done talking about it."
Added McCoy: "I don't have to explain myself to nobody. Nobody. I
don't. I said what I said, said how I felt at the time. And I'm done
with that."

The ex-fiancee of former NFL player Ray McDonald claims in court
records that he repeatedly attacked her over several months.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, a restraining order obtained
by the newspaper Tuesday shows the 27-year-old woman says McDonald
once choked her and once put his knee to her stomach while she was
pregnant.
The latter incident led to McDonald's arrest on Aug. 31, but he was
not charged with a crime. He also was arrested May 25 for
misdemeanor domestic violence and child endangerment.
The San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears both have released him in
the past six months.

on a punt return and kick return in a playoff game when he did it
against the Ravens in January 2013.
