It was the worst of times!

The injury-plagued Cleveland Browns took another hit Wednesday, as rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman suffered a broken hand in practice.
Coleman banged his hand on another defender while making a catch and continued to practice.
The Browns released a statement addressing Coleman’s injury, saying “the injury is being further evaluated in order to determine when he will return to play”.
Coleman’s injury continues a streak of misfortune that is a lot for any team in two games – even the Browns.
Coleman, drafted with the No. 15 pick in the first round, was shaping up to be one of the few bright spots on an 0-2 Browns team.
The Browns lost starting quarterback Robert Griffin III in the season opener with an injured left shoulder.
After losing their top two quarterbacks in consecutive weeks to start the National Football League season, the Browns offense was dealt another huge blow on Wednesday when Coleman, who leads the team with seven receptions for 173 yards and two touchdowns through two games, broke his hand. A replay review of the catch confirmed the call on the field of a touchdown.

Four plays later, the Browns turned Baltimore’s miscue into a touchdown, as McCown completed an 11-yard pass to Coleman.
