Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine stated the obvious on Monday while meeting with the media following the Browns’ opening-day loss to the New York Jets.
With starting quarterback Josh McCown currently in the NFL-mandated concussion protocol, the Browns will be forced to begin preparations for the home opener against Tennessee with Johnny Manziel as QB1.
McCown was reportedly at team headquarters earlier today watching film (if it was of the Jets game that certainly would not have improved his mood), but with the Browns not returning to the practice field until Wednesday, the team simply doesn’t know when McCown will be ready.
