Browns Quarterback Josh McCown Suffers Collarbone Injury

Within a couple of days, though, Pettine and offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said they could envision Manziel playing again for the Browns this season.

“I gather the opinions of others”.

“I don’t want to get into punishment and length of it”, he said. For the sake of the Browns’ immediate and long-term plans, it really shouldn’t have been much of a decision.

A back and forth battle led to the game being tied late in the fourth when Austin Davis relieved Josh McCown, who went down with an injured shoulder, and scored on an impressive 42-yard TD pass to Travis Benjamin.

Terrelle Pryor paid a visit to the Chicago Bears before re-signing with the injury-ravaged Cleveland Browns. The Browns are 8-17 in those games.

The coach might not be able to trust Manziel off the field, but he needs to trust him on it. Perhaps he will play well to end the season, but will that solve anything? McCown signed a three year deal with the Browns back in February.

Davis played well in relief of McCown, completing seven of 10 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. That’s bad news for Cleveland as McCown has quietly had one of the best seasons a Browns quarterback has had since the franchise’s rebirth in 1999.

Pettine said he would “take everything into consideration” when deciding which quarterback starts.

Quarterback Josh McCown will miss the rest of the season after fracturing his collarbone in a 33-27 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.

Schaub finished 20-for-34 for 232 yards with two touchdown passes and two interceptions. “He was prepared, played well and put us in position to win”, head coach Mike Pettine said in an emailed statement. “Will Hill didn’t do a very good job in coverage”. It’s tough for anybody coming in and your first plays third-and-10.

Manziel had the best game of his career November 15 when he threw for 372 yards in a 30-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They entered the week with a 0.1 percent chance of grabbing a wild-card spot, according to Football Outsiders, and doubled it to 0.2 percent with the victory.
