Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown suffered a collarbone injury during Monday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Mike Pettine confirmed post-game.

McCown was viewed leaving the locker room with his arm in a sling and is dealing with a "possible" broken collarbone, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. If that turns out to be the case, the veteran quarterback would be done for the season.

Pettine stated that McCown would start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals if he was deemed healthy.

The Browns' starter first suffered the injury in the third quarter after being driven into the turf by Ravens defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan. McCown reentered the game but appeared to re-aggravate the injury in the fourth quarter.

McCown finished 21-of-38 for 212 yards and a touchdown.

Austin Davis took over in McCown's absence, delivering a touchdown and no interceptions in the losing effort.

Johnny Manziel was rendered as the Browns' third-string quarterback after a video surfaced of him partying during the team's bye week. Manziel was active for Monday's game but did not warmup when McCown left the game.
