Injured Texas quarterback Colt McCoy received "very good news" during a Monday visit to orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Alabama, according to McCoy's father, Brad.
McCoy, a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist, sought out Andrews for a second opinion after he hurt his right (throwing) shoulder early in the Citi BCS National Championship Game against Alabama.

Born the son of a football coach on September 5, 1986, Colt McCoy was truly bred to play the game of football. While most big-time college quarterbacks cut their teeth playing under the lights for giant college feeder schools, Colt McCoy led the Division 2A Jim Ned High School football team. From a small Texas town of under 1,000 people, Colt McCoy still earned praise from around the nation. Texas Longhorns coach Mack Brown chose Colt McCoy to be the understudy and eventual successor to Vince Young.
He also gave his son high marks for dealing with the disappointment from the title game, which Texas lost, 37-21, to Alabama.
In his final college game, Colt McCoy played just five snaps before suffering the injury, originally diagnosed as a pinched nerve.
"Colt has handled it better than anyone can," his father said.
