Quarterback Jeff Garcia will miss the rest of the season after tearing a knee ligament during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Garcia's injury is another blow to the battered Browns (3-10), who have lost seven straight games and had a wave of injuries. Garcia is the 17th player and eighth starter to be placed on the injured reserve list.
Garcia was hurt in the third quarter after taking over for rookie Luke McCown. Garcia, who missed the previous two games with a sprained shoulder, lasted just three plays before injuring his knee while fumbling as he was sacked.
