There won’t be any definitive word until Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer comes out of an MRI tube later today.

But suffice it to say they’re not expecting good news.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Browns officials are “concerned” that Hoyer tore his ACL last night.

If he’s gone for the year, it puts the Browns in the middle of speculation about other quarterbacks (cough, Josh Freeman, cough) immediately, given the way the team didn’t promise Brandon Weeden the job back after injury. At the moment, they’re back to where they started the offseason, with Weeden and Jason Campbell, who was inactive last night.
