Browns rookie WR Corey Coleman suffers broken hand in practice
The injury-plagued Cleveland Browns took another hit Wednesday, as rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman suffered a broken hand in practice.
It's not known how long he'll be out, but Coleman vowed to return in an Instagram post.
Coleman, drafted with the No. 15 pick in the first round, was shaping up to be one of the few bright spots on an 0-2 Browns team. The rookie out of Baylor had five catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against Baltimore, after catching two passes for 69 yards in the opener.
The Browns already are without their top two quarterbacks after Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown each got hurt in the first two weeks. Rookie Cody Kessler will start Sunday at Miami, and converted wideout Terrelle Pryor was even talking about returning to QB.
They also lost starting center Cam Erving with a bruised lung and promising rookie defensive end Carl Nassib with a broken hand in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.
Erving spent one night in the hospital. He returned to the team's facility on Wednesday, but there's no timetable on his return. Nassib underwent surgery and it's possible he could return in the coming weeks and play with a protective cast.
