Brandon Weeden injury: Browns QB suffers blow to the head

Weeden left the game after suffering the blow and did not return. According to initial reports, Weeden was described as fine and his removal from the game was explained as a precautionary maneuver.

In 11 games, Weeden has registered 2,456 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions on 397 attempts. He has started every game this season.

Weeden sustained the concussion late in the 20-14 win over their rivals. Weeden appeared to hit his head on left tackle Joe Thomas’ leg after throwing an incomplete pass in the fourth quarter. Weeden finished 17-of-26 for 158 yards with a touchdown and an interception. McCoy did not attempt a pass in relief.

In further Tweets from Cabot, there’s quotes from Shurmur in which he notes that McCoy and Weeden have similar styles, and that he has plenty of confidence in McCoy. Still, he also says that McCoy needs time to prepare, and Weeden likely won’t be evaluated with a concussion test until later in the week.

Before leaving the game, Weeden completed 17-of-26 passes for 158 yards with one touchdown and one interception apiece. McCoy came in and essentially played the role of game manager, failing to throw a single pass over the final five minutes of the game.

He was taken to the locker room for further evaluation, according to the Browns’ official Twitter account.

Before he left the game, Weeden was 17 for 26 for 158 yards. He had one touchdown and one interception.
