Detmer tears his Achilles'
CLEVELAND, OHIO -- LDS quarterback Ty Detmer is out for the season,
leaving the Cleveland Browns scrambling to find a new quarterback. Detmer
tore his right achilles tendon Saturday night in a pre-season game against the
Chicago Bears.
The injury occurred in the third scrimmage play of the second half.
While scrambling to avoid a sack, Detmer tried to change directions and the
tendon ruptured.
Brown coach Christ Palmer says that the loss hurts the team.
"We've been chewed up pretty good. We'll look at the emergency list of
quarterbacks. Ty is a true professional. . . . We'll miss him, his
leadership."
