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 Whitey Herzog Cardinals Jersey .

BATON ROUGE, La. -- After severe weather gave LSU an unscheduled -- and unwanted -- weekend off, the Tigers sound eager to finally move on to Game 2 under interim coach Ed Orgeron.LSU (3-2) returns to the field against Southern Mississippi (4-2) in Death Valley on Saturday night. The Tigers will try to build on their 42-7 demolition of Missouri on Oct. 1, when Orgeron, a former defensive assistant, made his debut in his new post and new offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger introduced tweaks designed to spread out defenses and make LSUs attack more balanced.Were chomping at the bit to play, LSU fullback John David Moore said this week, in the wake of the postponement of last weekends game between the Tigers and Florida Gators in Gainesville, Florida, because of Hurricane Matthew. Non-conference or conference game, we just want to play.While LSU will now play 11 regular season games instead of 12, the Tigers were able to reschedule Florida for Nov. 19, albeit at the expense of a non-conference game against South Alabama that previously had been scheduled that day. The game against the Gators also has been moved from Gainesville, Florida, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. But thats over a month away, and Orgeron emphasized the need to forget about Florida -- for now -- and focus on visiting Southern Miss.I know those guys are going to want to put on a good show in Louisiana, Orgeron said of the Golden Eagles. There are several players from Louisiana, several coaches from Louisiana, and I know this is a big game for them.LSU is unranked, but Southern Miss first-year coach Jay Hopson takes little comfort in that. Hopson figures the Tigers, who entered the season ranked fifth-nationally, are just a couple plays away from being unbeaten and ranked even higher. The Tigers were in game-winning field goal range late against Wisconsin, only to throw an interception. In its other loss, LSU appeared to have passed for a winning TD as time expired, only to have the play overturned on video review, when officials determined time expired before the snap.We know were playing a football team that had a close loss to Wisconsin and controversial end to Auburn, Hopson said. If they won both those games, theyd probably be rankedd No.dddddddddddd 2 or No. 3 in the nation.---Some other things to watch as the Golden Eagles visit Death Valley for just the third time in school history.FOREGOING FOURNETTE: LSU star running back Leonard Fournette has missed two games and Orgeron said he more than likely would sit out again this Saturday. Thats hardly cause for the Golden Eagles to breathe a sigh of relief. Sophomore Derrius Guice has rushed for more than 150 yards in each of his two starts, and LSU rushed for more than 400 yards without Fournette in its most recent game.UP-AND-DOWN MULLENS: Southern Miss veteran quarterback Nick Mullens has had another productive season, throwing for 1,874 yards and 16 touchdowns through six games. But hes also thrown eight interceptions after just 12 picks in 14 games last season. His completion percentage is down to 58.6 percent, down from 63 percent in 2015.EVOLVING OFFFENSE: LSU has had about three weeks to work in new wrinkles on offense that Orgeron said are designed to make the scheme more quarterback friendly, for Danny Etling, who passed for a season-high 216 yards in LSUs first game under Orgeron. First of all, its about protection. We gave up no sacks against Mizzou, Orgeron said. We want to make short, easy throws for Danny -- easy reads, give him an opportunity to do things that he does well. The things that he doesnt do well, we dont do.BRADLEYS BIG YEAR: Southern Miss nose tackle Dylan Bradley has had a breakout season, leading the team with 39 tackles, including 10 for a loss and five sacks. The 6-foot-1, 265-pounder played mostly at defensive end before moving inside under Hopson.DAUNTING DEFENSE: LSUs defense hasnt always stifled opposing offenses, but has been stingy about letting opponents into the end zone. LSU has allowed 13 field goals, but only five TDs. It would be good if we dont give up field goals, but I feel like if we give up (only) a field goal, its like winning, LSU linebacker Kendell Beckwith said.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org---AP Sports Writer David Brandt in Jackson, Mississippi contributed to this report.
