Hurting his left foot in a Dec. 20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Quinn missed the Browns’ final two games. But the team did not give specifics of Quinn’s injury until Holmgren, who took over the club’s football operations last week, provided the most detailed update on Monday. Holmgren said he met with the team’s medical staff and was told Quinn needs time for his injury to heal but would likely be able to avoid surgery.
Opening the season as Browns starting quarterback, Quinn was benched after 10 quarters. He was given back the job but continued to fail expectation, going 2-7 in the nine games he started. All through the season he had only totally 136 of 256 (53 percent) for 1,339 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.
