Although team officials continue to insist that Charlie Frye is suffering from a deep bone bruise in his wrist, sources close to the injured Cleveland Browns quarterback said the injury is a broken bone in his hand, and that the second-year veteran will not play in the final two games of the season.

Frye, who started the first 12 games of the year, has missed the last two outings, and will not play on Sunday when the Browns host the Tampa Bay Bucs. Derek Anderson, who has played well since he replaced Frye in the first half of a Dec. 3 game, will get his third straight start.

Frye must be done for the year now

where will he fall in the depth chart next year when he shows up to training camp ?

if they work out receivers in the off-season who will throw to them ?

Frye may still have the starting job; at this point, it's hard to tell. Anderson will have a shot to show what he can do, and then there's talk that Cleveland may be eyeing Troy Smith with their first round pick, so... there's a lot that could happen between now and next summer.

Browns coach denies QB has broken wrist
Indianapolis Star, IN - 4 hours ago
An agitated Cleveland Browns coach Romeo Crennel refuted reports that quarterback Charlie Frye has a broken right wrist and denied he has been hiding injuries this season.

Frye hasn't played since hurting his wrist in a Dec. 3 game against Kansas City. X-rays taken that day at the stadium and MRIs performed later at the Cleveland Clinic revealed only a bone bruise, the team said. Frye has not been able to grip a football or throw effectively since.

This week, Frye got a second opinion on his injury. On Friday, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer and Akron Beacon Journal, both citing an anonymous source close to Frye, reported the second-year quarterback was told by a hand specialist that he has a broken bone. Crennel insists that's not true.

"He has a bone bruise," Crennel said Friday. "I said it yesterday. I said it the day before. I said it a couple weeks ago, and I will say it tomorrow. He has a bone bruise. It is getting better slowly."

I believe Frye is done as the starting QB. It's a shame, too, because he never really got a fair shake with all the injuries this year. If Anderson plays well the last 2 games he may take the job.

I would love to have Troy Smith play for the Browns. I have not been a fan for over 15 years. I haven't liked anybody on the team.
