Despite not having a great season with the Cleveland Browns this year, Brady Quinn has injured himself again. He was placed as injured reserve for the second time this year with a left foot injury that will leave him sidelined for the rest of the season. It’s also unknown if he will need surgery to repair the damage.

Quinn was selected as the Browns starting quarter back in the beginning of the season, but was sidelined after 10 quarters. He was brought back again on November 16th and held a 2-7 record in the nine games he started.

According to the Browns Coach Erick Mangini, Quinn got injured at the end of a 24-yard bootleg run during the fourth quarter of Sunday win at Kansas City. He doesn’t know how serious the injury is and he didn’t specify what the nature of the injury is but he did say that Quinn’s recovery may take a while.

Mangini also mentioned the good achievements that Brady had this season despite his injuries. The numbers would tend to indicate that Quinn has had a terrible season, but besides it all, Mangini has stated that Quinn has given a lot to the team. He spoke of his great abilities and skills to handle the no-huddle offence.

“He’s done a lot of good things,” Mangini said. “A lot of things I was hoping for at the beginning of the season we’re starting to see at the latter part of the season. The no-huddle helped him quite a bit. His ability to do that as well as he did helped us. He’s improved in quite a few categories. Over the course of time we’ve gotten better as a group. We’ll see where we are.”

This injury will keep the quarterback out of the last two games of the regular season with the Browns. His competition against Derek Anderson, the reserve quarterback, has been intense on practices. Now that Anderson has been announced to replace Quinn for the last two games of the Browns, Anderson may take advantage of this and will try to show his abilities and skills to the Browns new president Mike Holmgren.

Anderson will re-take again the starting quarter back position; he did it before when Quinn was benched the first time. He went 1-4 on the five games he played as the starting quarterback.

Quinn won an intense battle against Anderson that started since training camp. Quinn was finally announced by Mangini before the kick off of the first game of the season and the suspense was then left behind.

It is still unknown if Quinn is going to be able to develop himself into the star quarterback that the team is expecting him to be. It also will depend on the team’s new president opinion. He has some films from Quinn and will have some time to see Anderson in these two last games. Perhaps we would have to wait until next year to see what happens with this to quarterbacks and their future as part of the Cleveland Browns.
