Browns quarterback Josh McCown played through a fractured left collarbone Sunday in a 25-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The team's official description of the injury had been nebulous until Friday.
A Browns spokesman said McCown has a fractured clavicle but it's not displaced.
Coach Hue Jackson said Friday it could be displaced, but the spokesman clarified that the coach misspoke.
McCown suffered the injury in the first quarter and pushed through the pain to finish the game without missing a snap. He has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins (0-2) and is expected to miss at least a few weeks.
