Brian Hoyer is out for the season after suffering a complete tear of the ACL in his right knee.

Hoyer will undergo surgery to repair the knee.

"I talked to Brian," Chudzinski said. "Obviously he is disappointed. But if you know him, and you guys have been around him a little bit to know how positive he is and what type of person he is, he's already thinking about when he's going to be back.

"I reassured him of that as well. I wanted him to know what he meant to us, but he'll be back. He'll make it back." 

The Browns will start Brandon Weeden in Hoyer's place.
