Josh McCown is now done for the year after breaking his collarbone on Monday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens.

McCown exited the contest in the fourth quarter and was replaced by deputy Austin Davis.
Pettine said he would “take everything into consideration” when deciding which quarterback starts. He did the best he could while also serving as a mentor to Johnny Manziel, who was recently given the starting job and then had it taken from him for off-field behavior.
A decision on a starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals game Sunday is in order after X-rays confirmed what Pettine termed the “worst possible scenario” for Josh McCown. I don’t want to declare, ‘Hey, this is what it’s going to be from here on out.’ These are two young quarterbacks that have upside and we want to see what that upside is. If in fact he is finished for the season, he will have put up 2,109 yards (63.7 percent completion), 12 touchdowns and just four interceptions in eight games.
“I have a series of meetings scheduled and we’re going to discuss it more to determine our best course of action moving forward”, Pettine said on a conference call.
He went to the locker room soon after, the offense in the hands of Austin Davis.
The Cleveland Browns are a dumpster fire of an National Football League team, and one fan has had enough following a heartbreaking loss to the Ravens.
The Cleveland Browns were a field goal away from notching their third win of the season on Monday.
Cleveland kicker Travis Coons attempted a winning 51-yard field goal on the final play.
Pryor was set to meet with the Bears for a workout, but it looks like he’ll stick with the team he spent a good chunk of the offseason with. They fell for the 14th time in 16 games dating back to last season. His final QB rating was 93.3.
That’s a awful way to lose a game and it came against a division rival, a team that had left Cleveland in 1996, and in the midst of yet another season where nothing ever seems to go right for the Browns.

If Pettine were to pick Davis, he would become the 24th quarterback to start for the Browns since 1999. Pettine said acquiring a third quarterback is “on the table for discussion”.
