The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... McCown said he's ready to compete for the starting quarterback job, despite suffering a cut on the index finger of his throwing hand two weeks ago that required six stitches. "Everything's fine. It's a non-issue," McCown said today. "I could have played the day it happened. Now, it’s like it never happened."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
McCown admitted he "was a little concerned" about his right index finger at the time of the injury. McCown, 29, has a decided edge in experience over second-year pro John Beck and rookie Chad Henne. In 31 NFL starts, McCown has 35 touchdown passes. From our perspective, Beck looks like the favorite to win the starting job -- but nothing would surprise us.
