Browns QB Quinn to play despite broken finger
Football Betting Lines
11/20/2008 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn has a broken right index finger, but it apparently won't sideline him for Sunday's game against Houston.
Quinn, who has started the last two games for the Browns, has a small fracture in the tip of the finger on his throwing hand, suffered when he hit another player's helmet in Monday's 29-27 win over the Buffalo Bills.
The second-year quarterback was examined by a hand specialist, who cleared him to play. Quinn will wear a splint on the finger when he's not practicing or playing.
Drafted 22nd overall by Cleveland out of Notre Dame in 2007, Quinn has completed 37-of-71 passes for 424 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in two starts for the Browns this season. After a 34-30 loss to Denver in his first career start, Quinn completed 14-of-36 passes for 185 yards on Monday, as Cleveland edged Buffalo for his first win.
The Columbus, Ohio native was given the starting job after Derek Anderson struggled in Cleveland's 3-5 start. The 4-6 Browns host the 3-7 Texans on Sunday.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
