The Facts:
Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden suffered a concussion in the Cleveland Browns 20-14 upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Weeden apparently banged his head on the leg of offensive tackle Joe Thomas as he fell after throwing an incomplete pass. He completed 17-of-26 passes for 158 yards and a score before the injury. Former starter Colt McCoy finished out the game.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Only time will tell whether Weeden will be cleared in time to make the trip to Oakland for a Week 13 matchup against the Raiders. After the game, teammate Trent Richardson told reporters the Browns had to hide Weeden's helmet to stop him from returning Sunday. He'll undergo a battery of tests as part of the league's concussion protocol and must be cleared by an independent neurologist before he can return to practice. Expect Colt McCoy to take practice reps with the first team in case Weeden can't make the trip to the Black Hole.
