BEREA, Ohio — Josh McCown played catch during the early portion of his first practice since Oct. 30, a small but significant step as the Browns starting quarterback recovers from a painful rib injury.
McCown tossed passes on the sideline Wednesday with quarterbacks coach Kevin O'Connell while reporters were allowed to observe Cleveland's outdoor workout. McCown had a helmet with him, but did not put it on.
Browns coach Mike Pettine said McCown will be limited in practice and could still play Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Pettine said McCown threw some on Tuesday and has made progress from the injury sustained on Nov.
