The Eagles are losing to the Chiefs.  And it appeared at first that they’d lost running back LeSean McCoy.

Late in the second quarter of Thursday night’s game against the Chiefs, McCoy gained 18 yards after a nifty jump cut.  But his left leg was caught under a tackler, and McCoy was writhing in pain while grabbing the area above the ankle.

McCoy eventually walked off the field, and he has likewise walked to the locker room, without a limp.

Alex Flanagan of NFL Network reports that McCoy was stoic as he left the playing area, but then showed emotion once he was through the tunnel.

Stay tuned for more updates as they come.

UPDATE 10:14 p.m. ET:  McCoy emerged from the locker room early in the third quarter, and he has re-entered the game.

With the Eagles trailing by 10 and less than two minutes on the clock, the home team has tried to mount an unlikely comeback against the Chiefs.

The result could be something that many deemed to be likely, if not inevitable:  An injury to quarterback Mike Vick.

Vick exited the game after Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston sacked Vick, giving Houston 4.5 on the night.  The specific injury isn’t clear.

Vick also fumbled on the play, giving the ball to the Chiefs.
