BEREA, Ohio, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Cleveland quarterback Brady Quinn is taking his surgeon's advice and undergoing surgery to fix his broken right finger, the team says.

He is expected to be recovering for 10 weeks, which means Quinn is probably out for the season.

Quinn broke his finger in a Nov. 17 game against Buffalo, suffering tendon damage in his throwing hand in the 29-27 victory over the Bills. He started the next week against Houston, but was pulled in the second half as the Browns went down 16-6.

Surgery is scheduled Wednesday.

Ken Dorsey is expected to start for the Browns in the game at Tennessee Sunday, with Derek Anderson also out for the season with a knee injury.
