Browns lose Quinn for season

Football Betting Lines

11/26/2008 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel announced on Wednesday that Brady Quinn's broken index finger on his right hand will end the quarterback's season.

"Brady is going to need time or surgery for his finger to heal," said Crennel. "Brady will make a determination in the near future whether he'll take the time or have surgery to heal the finger."

Quinn injured the finger in his second career start, a 29-27 victory over the Buffalo Bills on November 17.

But Cleveland's 2007 first-round pick haphazardly played through the pain in a sub par effort on Sunday, hitting just 8-of-18 passes for 94 yards with two interception before being pulled for Derek Anderson in the second half of the 16-6 setback to Houston.

The 24-year-old went to renowned doctor James Andrews on Tuesday and it was determined that Quinn should shut it down for the rest of the season to avoid damaging the tendons in the finger.

Anderson is expected to start for the Browns against the Colts on Sunday with Ken Dorsey the backup and Joshua Cribbs as the emergency quarterback.

Crennel stated on Wednesday that the team has not yet placed Quinn on injured- reserve and that the plan is to sign quarterback Richard Bartel to the practice squad.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
