Cleveland, OH -- (Sports Network) - 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.
