Browns Beat: QB Josh McCown's shoulder injury expected to be serious

Sep 19, 2016

Josh McCown's left shoulder injury is believed to be serious and the Browns are gearing up to start rookie Cody Kessler or another quarterback if they determine Kessler isn't ready.

McCown will undergo an MRI on the shoulder today, but based on the amount of pain he's in, the Browns are expecting him to be out awhile.

Fantasy Impact:

Kessler, the Browns' third-round pick out of USC, is next in line to start. But if the Browns deem him not ready, they'll bring in a veteran to hold down the fort. McCown had X-rays after the game, and his left arm hung close to his side as he walked back into the locker room. He was in so much pain he needed help putting on his T-shirt.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
