McCown (collarbone) will return to practice this week, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCown's broken collarbone was initially expected to sideline him for 2-to-4 weeks, so now that he's missed Cleveland's past three games, a return to practice this week appears right on schedule. At the moment, it's unclear if McCown will be able to do enough in practice to be cleared for Sunday's game versus the Titans, but teammate Cody Kessler's (ribs) day-to-day status at least bodes well for the Browns. Still, it may be worthwhile to see whether McCown can push to reclaim Kessler's starting spot as the week unfolds.

Head coach Hue Jackson said McCown (collarbone) will have X-rays taken on Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCown is dealing with a hairline fracture in his non-throwing shoulder and was given a 2-4 week timeline to return as of Week 4. Thus, pending the MRI results, McCown is likely considered doubtful to play in Week 6.

McCown (collarbone) will not play Sunday against the Patriots, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCown is still working his way back from suffering a strain and hairline crack in his non-throwing shoulder, which will allow rookie Cody Kessler to continue as the Browns' starting quarterback in Week 5. As of last weekend, McCown was expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks, so the fact that he won't be ready to play the Patriots isn't surprising, but it still remains to be seen just how close he is to returning.

McCown is expected to be sidelined for 2-to-4 weeks because of a strain and hairline crack in his non-throwing shoulder, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

EDGE Analysis

McCown suffered the injury in Week 2 against the Ravens, and while he was apparently pushing to play Sunday against the Dolphins, he will now miss multiple weeks because of the issue. With Robert Griffin (shoulder) also out, Cody Kessler will be under center for the Browns.

Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton said Friday that McCown (shoulder) has a broken collarbone, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Hue Jackson said the collarbone isn't totally broken, but regardless, McCown can now safely be ruled out for multiple weeks, leaving Cody Kessler with an extended opportunity to serve as the starting quarterback. While not timetable has been reported, McCown will likely be out until at least mid-season, though he's still a better bet than Robert Griffin (shoulder) to have an impact before the end of the year.

Head coach Hue Jackson said McCown will miss Sunday's game against Miami and be week-to-week afterward, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCown played through an injury to his non-throwing shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but he faded after a fast start while clearly in pain. Though early reports suggested the injury is likely serious, the Browns have yet to confirm a diagnosis from Monday's MRI. Regardless, rookie fourth-rounder Cody Kessler will make his first NFL start much sooner than originally expected.

McCown (shoulder), who isn't expected to play Sunday against the Dolphins, won't be placed on injured reserve, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCown's potentially-serious shoulder injury will reportedly result in rookie Cody Kessler starting at quarterback Sunday, and possibly for weeks to come, but the veteran McCown not being placed on injured reserve suggests he's expected to return later this season. While it's unclear right now just when McCown may be anticipated to come back, coach Hue Jackson said Monday he'll be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. As it stands, it doesn't sound like McCown will be available anytime soon, but his shoulder injury doesn't seem to be of the season-ending variety given his avoidance of Cleveland's IR list.

Head coach Hue Jackson relayed Monday that McCown (shoulder) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Dolphins and will be week-to-week thereafter.

EDGE Analysis

McCown brushed off a shoulder injury and played the entirety of the Browns' Week 2 defeat to the Ravens, finishing 20 of 33 for 260 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Standard operating procedure resulted in an MRI being ordered up, and while Jackson didn't relay the nature of the ailment, it's severe enough to force McCown to the sideline this Sunday. With Robert Griffin (shoulder) already out for a significant spell, Jackson was safe enough in his knowledge of McCown's situation to state, "There's a good chance Cody Kessler will start this week."

McCown's shoulder injury suffered Sunday against the Ravens in believed to be serious, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCown is slated to undergo an MRI on his non-throwing shoulder Monday, but like teammate Robert Griffin last week, that testing is anticipated to reveal serious damage. That would figure to sideline McCown for a significant period of time, leaving rookie third-rounder Cody Kessler as the only quarterback left on the Browns' current roster. While the results of McCown's MRI will need to be confirmed first, it wouldn't be surprising if Cleveland is forced to sign a veteran quarterback to mitigate what could be another tough blow to their options at the position already this season.

McCown, who battled through a left shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday, the Cleveland Pain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The report notes that at this stage McCown plans to play next Sunday against the Dolphins, but adds that NFL Network has relayed fears that the QB's shoulder issue could be serious. In such a scenario, rookie Cody Kessler would be in line to start to start at QB for the Browns in Week 3.
