Josh McCown will miss the rest of the season with a broken collarbone, Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine said Tuesday.

Where the Browns turn next at quarterback is unclear, and Pettine was in no mood to discuss the decision the day after Cleveland lost on a game-ending blocked field goal return for a touchdown on "Monday Night Football."

McCown left Monday's game and was replaced by Austin Davis, who threw an interception late but with Baltimore's Matt Schaub returned the favor, the Browns were in position to win the game with a 51-yard field goal.

The kick was blocked and returned for a game-winning touchdown by the Ravens as time expired.

McCown started the game because Johnny Manziel, who had been named the team's starter for the rest of the season, was sent back to the bench and relegated to No. 3 quarterback against the Ravens. Manziel was being punished for reportedly lying to the team about when a video of him partying took place.

Manziel claimed the video was old, per ESPN Cleveland, but the team learned it had been shot during the Browns' bye last weekend.
