QB dealing with shoulder and rib injuries
Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown, who left last week’s meeting with the St. Louis Rams after sustaining shoulder and rib injuries, could be a game-time decision against the Cardinals this Sunday, coach Mike Pettine told reporters Friday. McCown is officially listed as questionable, but according to a report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, he will play this week. Having completed 26 of 32 passes for 270 yards, McCown was replaced in Week 7 by backup Johnny Manziel after taking several hits from the Rams’ defense. If McCown is unable to go this week, Manziel would get the call. (SI)
Nerdy Football Analysis: It sounds as though McCown will play, but how effective he will be is hard to predict. If you have another option this week, it might be a smart to leave McCown on your bench.
