Griffin (shoulder) has been cleared for non-contact activities but is not expected to practice this week, Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin is close to being ready to resume playing, but the Browns have to designate him as their player to return from injured reserve before he is allowed to take the practice field, and since the rules allow only one such player to come off IR in a season, the team wants to be certain he will be able to play again this year before making that call. The Browns will wait at least a week to make the decision, but if they do decide to bring Griffin back from IR, that would put him on track to play again at some point before 2016 comes to a close.

Griffin (shoulder) could return to practice as early as Wednesday, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Griffin's return from injured reserve seems imminent, the report states that he'll remain on the sideline for Sunday's matchup with the Steelers. The Browns will want to ease him in and let him get a few practices under his belt before setting him loose, which means Cody Kessler is still the starter. If/when Griffin gets back on the field, it'll be his first game since injuring his shoulder in Week 1.

Browns Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown said Monday that Griffin (shoulder) will have a chance to play again this year, Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin has been on injured reserve since Sept. 12 with a fractured coracoid bone in his left shoulder, but it looks like the Browns' brass expect him to return and play at some point this season. He is eligible to come off injured reserve at any time and was seen throwing before Thursday's game with the Ravens, though it's still unclear when he'll be able to return to practice.

Griffin (shoulder) will have a scan within the next few weeks and could return from injured reserve soon, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin threw during warmups of Thursday's game against the Ravens, when the Browns utilized two quarterbacks in their latest failed attempt at securing their first win of the season. Tabbed the team's starter going into the campaign, Griffin didn't even last a full game before fracturing his left shoulder, which resulted in him being placed on IR, but he's now eligible to return at any time. With a scan scheduled soon, Griffin's situation should be worth monitoring, even though coach Hue Jackson said Thursday it's too early to say whether Griffin will play when healthy.

Griffin (shoulder) may be able to return this season, as a five-week checkup revealed he likely will not need surgery , ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fractured coracoid bone in Griffin's left shoulder has improved with rest, potentially allowing him to return from injured reserve at some point after Week 9. The Browns still don't have any timetable, and there's no guarantee Griffin will get another chance to start even if he makes it back by the end of the year. Rookie third-round selection Cody Kessler hasn't exactly been great, but he may be doing enough to retain the starting job, as the Browns are already far removed from playoff contention. Kessler will start against the Bengals in Week 7 even if Josh McCown (collarbone) is cleared to play.

Griffin will have his injured left shoulder further examined this week, at which point it could be determined whether or not he'll need surgery, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin has been on injured reserve since getting hurt in Week 1, but reportedly holds a chance of returning later this season if all goes well with his shoulder. His further evaluation this week should help clarify his recovery timetable, which may hinge on whether he requires surgery. Regardless, Griffin isn't expected back anytime soon, and with Josh McCown (collarbone) out as well, rookie Cody Kessler will continue to start at quarterback for the Browns.

Griffin is expected to miss 10-to-12 weeks because of his shoulder injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin was placed on the injured reserve list this week, which was going to keep him out for eight games already, but the new timeline for his recovery could sideline him for the entire season. Josh McCown will get the start Sunday against the Ravens, and he is likely to hold onto the starting job as long as he stays healthy.

Griffin (shoulder) has been placed on the Browns' injured reserve list due to a fractured coracoid bone in his left shoulder, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin lands on IR after just one game with the Browns, as consecutive hard hits Sunday left significant damage in his non-throwing shoulder. Given his injury designation, Griffin now must miss a minimum of eight games, but could be out even longer. With Griffin sidelined for the foreseeable future, Josh McCown figures to be promoted to Cleveland's starting quarterback position, with rookie Cody Kessler likely his backup.

Griffin is expected to be sidelined for a significant amount of time after spraining his left shoulder during Sunday's season-opening loss, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin underwent an MRI on his injured, non-throwing shoulder Monday and was revealed to have suffered potentially serious damage. As a result, it's likely that Griffin will be ruled out for some time looking ahead, although a definitive timetable has yet to surface. With that being the expectation, backup Josh McCown appears destined to reclaim the Browns' starting quarterback job.

Griffin will have an MRI on his left shoulder Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin suffered a sprained shoulder in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Eagles, and while he admitted after the game that he is in pain, he also said he expects to be available for Week 2 against the Ravens. He started his season on the wrong foot, completing just 12 of 26 passes for 190 yards, with five carries for another 37 yards, an interception and no touchdowns. Despite suffering the injury, Griffin came back out for the meaningless final drive of Sunday's game. If he isn't available next week, Josh McCown would be next in line to start.
