"I'm just kind of keeping my reaction to myself," he said when asked how he felt about the move.
"I just want to show up every day, put a smile on my face, and be the best version of myself I can be. We've got a great team here, the guys in the locker room are awesome and at the same time I respect my coaches. I'm just going to continue to be who I am, work as hard as I can."
Working hard worked well for him last season when the shoe was on the other foot. McCoy was asked to relieve Kirk Cousins in a game against the Titans after Cousins threw one too many interceptions in relief himself of Robert Griffin III.
And when Griffin failed again in his return in November, it was McCoy who came in rather than Cousins. All told, it was Colt McCoy who quarterbacked the Redskins to two of their four victories.
Now he's on clipboard duty, once again.
"I just come to work, man, do the best I can," he said. "That's kind of how I approach every day. Lots of things going on the last couple of days. But to be honest, my focus is on the knowing that I've got to play the whole [final preseason] game against Jacksonville just kind of watching tape on them and figuring out how we can go out there and play well."
Head coach Jay Gruden has already said that McCoy will play all the team's exhibition finale, but after that, he said, the depth chart was anyone's guess. After Kirk Cousins, who is slotted at second and third is still to be determined.
"I play with the guys who are out there, hopefully move the ball down the field and finish the preseason on a high note," McCoy said.
Truth be told, the finish of the preseason may not be the last time we see him. The Redskins are in complete disarray at the quarterback position, and if their proclaimed starter can't kick his turnover habit over the course of the year, Jay Gruden will have little trouble looking right over RG3's head and call on No. 16.
