Browns starting quarterback Robert Griffin III suffered a fractured coracoid bone in his left shoulder Sunday late during a 29-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the regular-season opener and will miss at least eight games this season, the team announced Monday afternoon.
Griffin has been placed on injured reserve. Each NFL team may designate one player to return from IR under new rules adopted for the 2016 season. Designation does not need to be made until the player is able to return to practice. A player placed on injured reserve is eligible to return to practice in six weeks and must miss a minimum of eight games.
