Browns quarterback Derek Anderson is headed to injured reserve after suffering a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee Sunday against Indianapolis.
Tuesday's MRI revealed the tear, but no surgery will be required. Anderson will wear a brace and is expected to recover in four to six weeks.
Anderson started Cleveland's first eight games and went 3-5. He regained his job against the Colts after Brady Quinn was placed on IR with a fractured index finger on his throwing hand that also has tendon damage.
Tight end Kellen Winslow suffered a high sprain of his left ankle, an MRI indicated. He will wear a walking boot for up to a week and will miss Sunday's game at Tennessee. Because the rate of healing may vary, the medical staff was not ready to declare Winslow out for the season.

You will be missed the rest of the season. Hang in there Derek. You are the most exciting Quarterback the New Browns have had. It`s been a pleasure to watch your effort.
Terry – I agree 100% with you. Anderson got a raw deal from the fans after an exciting first year. I would love to see him return but if not, I hope he goes to a team that appreciates him. He is at his best throwing down the fiels and it seems that was taken away from him last year as we started winning. I guess the coaches got scared to lose?
I wish I could email Anderson and let him know there are fans out there that appreciate him.
