Josh McCown is not only the toughest quarterback in the NFL, he might be one of its toughest players. The Browns veteran fractured his left collarbone in last Sunday's loss to the Ravens and the expectation is that he'll miss 2-4 weeks. Put another way: There's no way he'd be able to play against the Dolphins on Sunday, right?
Well...
#Browns QB Josh McCown is a tough dude. He fought to harness the left shoulder and play today, even with the pain. Team said no.

"He's one of the toughest human beings I've seen play in a long time,'' first-year Browns coach Hue Jackson said Monday, via Cleveland.com. "He played as well and hard as he could."
The Browns, who are 0-2 and lost starter Robert Griffin III in Week 1 and are now without McCown, will turn to rookie third-rounder Cody Kessler in Miami.
