Colt McCoy sat out of practice today (Wednesday) with an undisclosed illness.  Sources described it as the flu, or, more specifically, flu-like symptoms, since we all know that it could seem like the flu and really be the Bubonic Plague.

How this will affect his availability for the Ravens game is unknown.  One would hope that Colt wouldn't let a little thing like the flu (or the plague) keep him out of the game, especially when someone like Brett Favre would probably take the field even if his leg had just been bitten off by a tiger.

One thing is for certain - it can't HELP.
