Quinn undergoes successful surgery on finger

Football Betting Lines

12/03/2008 - Berea, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn underwent successful surgery on Wednesday to repair his broken right index finger, an injury he sustained in a November 17 game against Buffalo.

Quinn broke the tip of his finger and sustained tendon damage on his throwing hand while leading the Browns to a 29-27 victory over the Bills. He started the next week against Houston, but was inefficient in throwing for only 94 yards on 8-of-18 passing with two interceptions before being pulled in the second half of the 16-6 setback.

After an examination by noted sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews, Quinn was advised to shut it down for the rest of the 2008 season.

"(From) what I understand the basic procedure was that they put a couple of pins into the finger just to make sure it's well-set, so the bones can heal properly and then they moved the one piece of bone that had broken off back down to the spot as well," Quinn said in a phone interview on the club's website. "Just to reassure the fact that it will heal smoothly and I'll have full function of it again."

In three starts this year, Quinn has completed 45-of-89 passes for 518 yards with two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. The 22nd overall pick of the 2007 draft made just one appearance last year as a rookie, throwing for 45 yards while completing 3-of-8 passes.

The pins are scheduled to be removed from the finger in six weeks before the quarterback begins rehab sessions.
