Quinn broke finger vs. Bills

Story tools:

BEREA, Ohio — 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 host the Houston Texans.

“At this point, it’s just a little sore,” he said on 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 while throwing during the 30-minute segment of practice open to the media.

The Browns initially thought Quinn only bruised his hand after banging it on the helmet of a Bills player. But after he complained of soreness following Wednesday’s practice, X-rays were taken and revealed a fracture on the tip of his finger.
