McPhearson played 31 snaps before exiting the game after breaking up a passing play, and he was having a solid performance, logging six tackles and one pass defended.
McPhearson had been seeing time in the slot and at the outside cornerback position and was a favorite to make the 53-man roster along with Josh Jobe and Kelee Ringo.
