BEREA, Ohio -- Robert Griffin IIIs comeback cracked.Clevelands quarterback curse strikes again.Griffin broke a bone in his left shoulder during the fourth quarter of Sundays 29-10 loss at Philadelphia and will miss at least eight games -- and potentially the season -- with an injury that leaves the Browns muddled QB situation as jumbled as ever.The franchises 25th starting quarterback since 1999, Griffin, who signed with the Browns as a free agent in March in hopes of reviving a career that fizzled in Washington, got hurt while trying to run out of bounds.Griffin was nearing the sideline when he was struck by Eagles rookie defensive back Jalen Mills, who delivered a blow to the QBs chest area.Its football and these things happen, Browns first-year coach Hue Jackson said. Its unfortunate but it does happen in this sport.But it seems to happen at an inordinate rate to the Browns, who have been unable to find any stability at the games most important position for nearly two decades.Griffin stayed in the game, but an MRI on Monday revealed that he broke the coracoid bone in his shoulder.Griffin, who sustained a serious knee injury at the end of his rookie season with the Redskins, does not need surgery at this time and will be evaluated in 3 to 4 weeks.The Browns placed Griffin on injured reserve -- under new NFL rules he can brought off the list -- and he could return at some point in 2016.But theres no guarantee that will happen and the 26-year-old has sustained another setback to a career filled with promise when he burst into the NFL as a dual-threat QB in 2012.Hes been through a lot, Jackson said. He gets it. He understands its unfortunate that it happened. He worked extremely hard. But he also understands that theres a bigger plan.Sometimes hes not in control of everything, and it was unfortunate that it happened. But I think hes seen enough situations and been in enough in this league to understand that things happen in due time and that youve got to work through this and be prepared when the next opportunity comes.Jackson didnt accuse Mills of a dirty hit, and said the timing was such that Griffin, who was also slightly pushed from cornerback Ron Brooks, couldnt avoid contact.I dont think the guy was trying to hurt Robert, Jackson said.The guy was out of bounds himself and I think he reacted to this player running at him and at the last minute, I think they both seen each other and that was the reaction.Despite being injured and in obvious pain, Griffin, who was checked by Clevelands medical staff when he got to the sideline, returned to the field for the final series. While favoring his left arm, Griffin only handed the ball off.He wanted to be out there with his teammates, Jackson said. I dont think anybody knew to the extent of the injury. Were all tough guys, we go out there and play and we want to stay out there with our teammates and finish the game. Thats a credit to Robert.With Griffin out, veteran Josh McCown will start this weeks home opener against Baltimore. McCown, who coincidentally sustained a concussion on the opening drive in his debut with Cleveland last season, went 1-7 in eight starts but passed for 457 yards in a win over the Ravens.McCown was the subject of trade talks during the offseason, but the Browns are glad they hung on to him.Thats why we kept Josh here, because he knows how to play and hes been in this league and understands our offense and what were trying to accomplish, Jackson said.Its unfortunate that this happened to Robert, but it is comforting to know that we have a guy thats played in NFL games and knows how to manage games.McCown is excited by his new chance, but not at the expense of seeing Griffin get hurt.Its just heartbreaking because I know how much he wants to be out there with his guys fighting for his team, McCown said.The nearly constant turnover at quarterback has hindered the Browns from winning or developing any stability. The injuries havent helped.Its been pretty bad luck, McCown said. It hasnt gone well. For whatever reason, its just not gotten right.Adding insult to injury, the Browns were beaten Sunday by Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, who shined in his debut.The Browns passed on a chance to take Wentz and traded the No. 2 overall pick to Philadelphia, but Jackson said the team isnt second-guessing that decision.That was one game, and he played well, Jackson said. Well look back and see where he is over a period of time, but the Browns gotta get better.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL Soccer Jerseys China .

BOSTON -- The Celtics dont want to rely solely on Isaiah Thomas to win.But on some nights, putting the ball in the All-Star guards hands is simply the best option.Thomas scored 22 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter in Bostons 90-83 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.He scored 20 of Bostons final 24 points to help the Celtics beat back a late Mavericks surge.Avery Bradley added 18 points and 13 rebounds.After the Mavericks took a 70-66 lead, Thomas scored Bostons next 13 points to put the Celtics back in front 79-76. They never trailed again.After one of the baskets late in the run Thomas ran down the court and flashed two thumbs up.I guess I just like that quarter, Thomas said. Sometimes guys get a little tighter, and then the pressure gets a little tougher for them. I guess I like the pressure.Harrison Barnes led the Mavericks with 28 points. Wesley Matthews added 22.Dallas, which was already missing several players because of injuries, lost two more. Starter Deron Williams exited in the second quarter with a left calf injury, and J.J. Barea was helped off the court in the fourth quarter after straining his left calf as well.Coach Rick Carlisle said it appears Barea will be out for a while, but added that he didnt think it was real serious. He said its his understanding that Williams just experienced some tightness.The Celtics outrebounded Dallas 53-32, which coach Brad Stevens said is a welcomed sign for a team that struggled in that department early in the season.Maybe its the law of averages, and some just bounced our way, Stevens said. But were defending at a better rate than we were.TIP-INSMavericks: Have lost three straight. ... Had a season-low 31 points at the first half. ... Dirk Nowitzki missed his fifth straight game with a right Achilles strain.Celtics: Thomas has scored 20 or more points in each of the first 11 games of the season. ...

Al Horford remains in the NBA concussion protocol and sat out his eighth straight game. Jae Crowder missed his seventh consecutive game with a sprained left ankle.TEAM MEETINGCeltics guard Marcus Smart said the team held a meeting after its blowout loss to the Wizards on Nov. 9 to help refocus its commitment on the defensive end.It was no coaches, just us, Smart said. We had to look ourselves in the mirror and come to the conclusion that it is on us and were the ones playing and that we have to get it together.Bradley said the conversation was frank and honest.Just that we need to hold each other accountable, he said. We werent playing to our ability. We had two or three guys playing hard at the defensive end, but the other three guys werent. And we needed everyone playing hard consistently as a team. Tonight I feel like was one our best defensive games.NO FREEBIESThere werent many trips to the free throw line in the first half for either team. The Celtics were just 2 for 6 in the half, and the Mavericks missed their lone attempt in the first quarter. Neither team attempted a free throw in the second quarter.INJURY UPDATEStevens said Crowder would practice Friday, but that he does not expect him to play Saturday against Golden State. Stevens said his last report on Horford was that the big man had a great workout on Wednesday.Carlisle said Dirk Nowitzki is making progress as well.It feel likes hes getting close, he said.UP NEXTMavericks: Return home Friday to host the Grizzlies, before heading back on the road for trips to Orlando and San Antonio.Celtics: Host the Warriors Friday, and then begin a three-game trip with a stop in Detroit on Saturday.---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
