EJ Manuel suffers knee Injury Hit Against Browns


Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel couldn't get out of bounds on a scramble before Cleveland Browns safety Tashaun Gipson hit Manuel on the right knee, a scary-looking injury that sent Manuel out of the game.Marrone said he does not know if Manuel, the 16th overall pick in April's NFL draft, will undergo an MRI. He also said it is too early to know if the Bills will evaluate quarterbacks on the free-agent market. On a third-down play in the third quarter, Manuel was pressured and scrambled for a first down. After gaining the necessary yardage, he began to turn out of bounds and was hit on his right knee by Browns defensive back Tashaun Gipson.The injury happened on a third-and-8 play as Manuel was finishing a 14-yard scramble. Manuel was near the sideline but wasn't out of bounds when Gipson hit him. Manuel immediately clutched his right knee after the hit.Manuel tried to get his loose on the sideline, jogging and riding a stationary bike. Trainers examined his knee before taking him to the locker room. Manuel was 11 of 20 for 129 yards.Earlier, Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer went down with a right knee injury and coach Rob Chudzinski told NFL Network he was fearful of torn ligaments.
