Browns QB Robert Griffin has a "potentially serious" shoulder injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. RG3 downplayed the issue after the game, but it sounds like there's a chance he misses time. He's undergoing additional testing today, so we should get another update soon. QB Josh McCown would step in if Griffin is sidelined and might be an upgrade for the offense.

Browns QB Robert Griffin III told reporters that he suffered a left shoulder sprain in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal. Griffin also said that he expects to be fine for Week 2. We'll keep an eye on him this week to see if that's the case. Josh McCown would be the next QB up if Griffin can't go.

"Oh I'm close, very close," Browns HC Hue Jackson told ESPN's Austin Ward about deciding on his starting QB. That comes after Robert Griffin reportedly performed solidly in a team scrimmage, and the coach had positive words for him. "I think I've said every day, everybody is seeing [Griffin] get better and better every day," Jackson said. "I'm not surprised. We're trying to create the right environment for him to be all he can be, and I think he's working extremely hard because this is something he really wants to do. Obviously, we've still got work to do, but I think he's done a great job thus far." Expect Griffin to emerge here and present fantasy upside with his running ability and some intriguing skill-position talent around him. He obviously presents risk in fantasy at this point as well, but Griffin's late ADP mitigates that.

The NFL is reinstating Browns WR Josh Gordon and will suspend him for the 1st 4 games of the regular season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That returns not only Cleveland's top wideout, but a guy who has displayed top-12 fantasy football potential even in a bad passing game. Gordon has remained in the range of rounds 10-12 in best-ball drafting even while we all awaited reinstatement news, so he's sure to climb well into the single-digit rounds now. We'll have to see just how high he climbs before assessing whether he's overvalued or worth targeting. Keep in mind that Cleveland appears to be hoping that Robert Griffin III can rebound from playing no games in 2015 to become the starter. The whole offense will bear close watching in training camp. Gordon's return might most impact the fantasy outlook of rookie Corey Coleman, who likely goes from de facto lead wideout to #2 WR in an offense that hopes to lean run.

The Browns surprisingly made QB Coby Kessler the 6th QB off the board, taking him with the 93rd overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.  A 3-year starter at USC, Kessler completed an impressive 67.5% of his passes with 88 TDs and just 19 INTs.  He's smallish at 6'1, 220 pounds, though, and possesses just an average arm.  There doesn't appear to be much upside here.  Kessler figures to spend 2016 on the bench behind Robert Griffin and/or Josh McCown.

The Browns have signed QB Robert Griffin III to a 2-year deal. It's not a surprising move given that RG3 recently visited Cleveland and the Browns moved on from pursuing a Colin Kaepernick trade. Griffin didn't play a game last year and struggled plenty in 2014 and 2013. He did wind up finishing 2014 with a career-high 68.7% completion rate, though, and a strong 7.9 yards per pass attempt. Of course, the big question will be whether Griffin can get anywhere near the dynamic success of his rookie season. We wouldn't bet on that, but he doesn't have to get back to those heights to prove fantasy relevant. Cleveland will need to prove it's a positive situation for his value, but RG3 should at least have WR Josh Gordon (if he's reinstated), good-looking receiving RB Duke Johnson and TE Gary Barnidge. We'll see what this signing means for Josh McCown and whether/when the Browns pursue a QB in the draft.

The Browns have agreed to a deal to make Hue Jackson their new HC.  Jackson has spent the past 4 years with the Bengals; the past 2 as OC.  Cincinnati ranked 15th in total offense in both.  Jackson was the Raiders' HC back in 2011, leading the team to an 8-8 record and a 9th-place finish in total offense.  Generally regarded as 1 of the top offensive minds in the game, Jackson's arrival is good news for Cleveland's offense.  Of course, there aren't many pieces there to be excited about.

Browns QB Josh McCown broke his collarbone in Monday night's loss to the Ravens and is done for the season, HC Mike Pettine announced.  All things considered, McCown was impressive this year, completing 63.7% of his passes with 12 TDs vs. 4 INTs.  He couldn't stay healthy, though, and turns 37 next July.  McCown clearly isn't Cleveland's QB of the future, although he is signed for 2 more years.  Pettine refused to say on Tuesday whether Johnny Manziel or Austin Davis will start this weekend's game against the Bengals.

Browns QB Josh McCown injured his right (throwing) shoulder in Monday night's game against the Ravens.  He tried to play through it but left after attempting just 2 more passes.  McCown headed back to the locker room with trainers and was replaced by QB Austin Davis.  Johnny Manziel is active as the #3 QB.

The Browns announced Tuesday that QB Josh McCown will start Monday night against the Ravens. Johnny Manziel will sit 3rd on the depth chart behind Austin Davis. The move comes after video revealed Manziel partying in a Texas club over the bye week, which might be less of an issue if Manziel hadn't spent part of last offseason in a treatment facility. HC Mike Pettine told reporters this week that the recurrence of issues with Manziel makes it more frustrating than any particular incident on its own. McCown certainly doesn't hurt the Browns offense and probably helps, especially on the passing side. He already threw for 457 yards and 2 TDs in the 1st meeting with Baltimore this season.

Browns QB Josh McCown (ribs) is inactive for today’s game against the Steelers. QB Johnny Manziel gets his 3rd start of the season. He’s looked better this year but remains a risk/reward QB2.

Browns QB Josh McCown (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers after a week of limited practices.  HC Mike Pettine said Friday that he knows who his starter is but refused to announce it.  We'll find out by noon ET on Sunday.  McCown and Manziel will both be just QB2s, but TE Gary Barnidge will get a nice boost if McCown returns.

Browns QB Josh McCown (ribs) put in his 2nd straight limited practice on Thursday.  HC Mike Pettine suggested that a decision on the Week 10 starter will be made by tonight.  Whoever it is -- McCown or Johnny Manziel -- will be a 2-QB league option against the Steelers.  TE Gary Barnidge owners should be hoping for McCown to get the nod.

Browns HC Mike Pettine said Tuesday that QB Josh McCown remains the team's starter when healthy.  He missed last Thursday night's game with a rib injury, though, and wasn't able to practice on Tuesday.  QB Johnny Manziel will get another start if McCown isn't ready for this weekend's game against the Steelers.

Browns QB Josh McCown (ribs) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Bengals.  Extremely banged up, McCown might also be held out of Week 10 with Cleveland getting a Week 11 bye.  QB Johnny Manziel starts this week but can't be trusted in fantasy lineups.  He started against the Bengals last year and threw for 80 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs.

Browns HC Mike Pettine labeled QB Josh McCown (shoulder, ribs) "day-to-day" in his Monday press conference.  "Josh is sore," Pettine added.  "It’s difficult this week given that it’s a short week."  It sounds like McCown might not be able to start against the Bengals on Thursday night.  That'd vault QB Johnny Manziel into the starting lineup.  We wouldn't trust either guy in fantasy.

Browns QB Josh McCown injured his ribs in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals but played through it.  He finished with 211 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT.  McCown told reporters afterward that he had x-rays but wouldn't say whether he has any broken ribs.  He has just 4 days before Cleveland heads to Cincinnati for Thursday Night Football.

Browns QB Josh McCown (shoulder) is active and will start today’s game against the Cardinals. He was limited in practice this week and won't be at 100%. Avoid McCown in fantasy lineups.

Browns QB Josh McCown (shoulder) will start today's game against the Cardinals, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.  At less than 100% vs. the #3 QB defense, McCown shouldn't be in any fantasy lineups.

Browns QB Josh McCown (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. He was limited in practice, and HC Mike Pettine labeled him “day-to-day” on Friday. Pettine also insinuated that McCown will be a game-time decision and that he might use both McCown and Johnny Manziel vs. Arizona. It’s obviously a situation to avoid in fantasy lineups.
