Quinn has a broken index finger

Brady Quinn got his first NFL win as a starter almost single-handedly.

Quinn broke his right index finger during the first half of Monday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills, but Cleveland’s new starting quarterback stayed in and led the Browns to a 29-27 victory.

Despite the injury, Quinn will try to play Sunday when the Browns play host to the Houston Texans.

“At this point, it’s just a little sore,” he said before practice Thursday. “Just doing the best we can to take all the precautions to make sure it’s all right.”

Quinn didn’t seem to be bothered by the finger at practice.

Cleveland GM apologizes

Cleveland Browns General Manager Phil Savage has apologized to a fan whom he sent a profane e-mail to following Monday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Savage used an expletive in his response to the fan, who criticized the GM in several e-mail exchanges.

“It happened after the game,” Savage in an e-mail to the Associated Press. “There had been previous e-mails from him over the months and enough was enough. We have both apologized to each other since.”

Savage is not facing sanctions from the league.
