Brady Quinn Goes On IR, Derek Anderson Will Start For Browns

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports that Browns quarterback Brady Quinn will miss the team’s final two games due to a right foot injury he suffered after his 24-yard scramble in last week’s game against the Chiefs. The Browns did not release any further information about Quinn’s injury, although head coach Eric Mangini said that they have not yet determined whether Quinn will require surgery.

Derek Anderson will be back in the starting lineup for the Browns this week when they take on the Oakland Raiders.

Given the unexplained nature of Quinn’s injury, it wouldn’t be surprising if this is a move to simply give new team president Mike Holmgren a chance to evaluate Derek Anderson, as he assesses what the Browns want to do at quarterback this offseason.
