McCoy didn't log a snap from scrimmage in Sunday's 45-20 win over the Raiders, with the return of Leonard Fournette from an ankle injury playing a significant role, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

McCoy had just received his second-highest snap count of the season (19) in the Week 6 win over the Packers, but that came while Fournette was inactive. In Week 7, coach Bruce Arians opted to utilize Fournette in a change-of-pace and nickel-situation role in place of McCoy, with the former proving he was up to the task with 97 yards from scrimmage on 17 total touches (11 carries, six receptions). Arians went as far as labeling Fournette as the team's "nickel back" following the game, leading to speculation McCoy could serve as an occasional healthy scratch moving forward as long as the rest of the backfield is available.
