CLEVELAND -- Battered and bruised at quarterback, the Browns have gotten a little healthier. With Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell recovering from concussions, Cleveland signed quarterback Caleb Hanie on Tuesday, giving coach Rob Chudzinski another option this week at New England. The Browns considered adding Hanie to their roster last week, but decided to sign Alex Tanney off Dallas practice squad. Tanney, perhaps best known for a trick-shot video on YouTube, backed up Weeden on Sunday against Jacksonville. Weeden was diagnosed with a concussion following the 32-28 loss to the Jaguars and is following the NFLs program for head injuries. Campbell, who sustained a concussion last week against Pittsburgh, has improved and is moving closer to being ready to play. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Monday that Campbell has been cleared for football activities but not yet for practice. Per league rules, Campbell must first be examined and cleared by an independent physician before he is permitted to return to the field. Campbell was injured when he was struck in the helmet on a blindside hit by Steelers cornerback William Gay, who wasnt penalized but was later fined $15,750 by the league. If Campbell and Weeden are healthy, Campbell would likely get the nod to start. Weeden passed for a career-high 370 yards against Jacksonville but he had two interceptions and a fumble in the final minutes of the first half and the Jaguars converted the three turnovers into 13 points. The two QBs may need more time to get well and Chudzinski may have to choose between Tanney and Hanie to face the Patriots (9-3) and coach Bill Belichick. Chudzinski may prefer Hanie because he has started four career regular-season games and has more experience than Tanney, who has played only in the exhibition season. Hanie spent four years backing up Jay Cutler in Chicago and was third on Denvers depth chart last season behind Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler. The 28-year-old went 0-4 for the Bears in 2011, completing 51 of 102 passes for 613 yards with nine interceptions. Hanie was signed as a free agent by Baltimore in April and was with the club in training camp before he was released in August. Clevelands coaching staff will spend Tuesday putting together a game plan for the Browns, who have dropped three straight, six of seven and fallen from the playoff race. Its still not clear who will start at quarterback, but at least Chudzinski and his staff have two healthy alternatives in Hanie and Tanney. Its been another one of those seasons for the Browns, who cant seem to catch a break at quarterback. After Weeden was hurt in the teams second game, Brian Hoyer, who began the season as Clevelands No. 3 quarterback, led the team to consecutive wins over Minnesota and Cincinnati before his season-ending knee injury. Weeden has twice been benched and Campbell, the 20th different starter for the Browns since 1999, stabilized the position before he was injured. NOTES: The Browns placed linebacker Brandon Magee on injured reserve with a chest injury. He was hurt Sunday against Jacksonville. He appeared in eight games and recorded three special-teams tackles.

Cricket was Phillips life, and we as a family shared that love of the game with him ... We love you, Clarke read, holding back tears before leaving the room.Hughes was wearing a helmet Tuesday when he was hit after attempting to hook a short-pitch ball from New South Wales fast bowler Sean Abbott.Dr. Tony Grabs, a surgeon and director of trauma services who treated Hughes at St. Vincents, said the 25-year-old cricketer had died from a rare injury — there have been only 100 documented cases of vertebral artery dissection — which resulted in severe bleeding on his brain.We did a CAT scan of the head to determine what we could do, Grabs said. This occurred very early and it was recognized we had to make an intervention to help get the pressure down in the brain. He had extensive surgery to remove some of the skull from around his brain to help allow the brain to expand so it wasnt compressed.Australian team doctor Peter Brukner said Hughes recovery did not go as hoped.Over a period of the first 24 to 48 hours he did not make very much improvement and unfortunately, as a consequence of the injury, he died, Brukner said.Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said Hughes was immensely talented and dearly loved: Without doubt, he was a rising star whose best cricket was still ahead of him.The word tragedy gets used too often in sport, but this freak accident is real life tragedy, Sutherland said. Just days short of his 26th birthday, Phillip has been taken away from us too soon. He will forever be remembered as one of the elite few to have worn the baggy green cap, cap number 408.Also at the news conference, doctors said Hughes was in the care of two specialist doctors before an ambulance and paramedics arrived at the Sydney Cricket Ground, making their delayed response less relevant, Brukner said. It took two phone calls and 15 minutes for an ambulance to get to an unconscious Hughes.I think ambulance waiting time is really more relevant when the injured person is not being treated, Brukner said. I think by any standard or observation, he was receiving excellent quality treatment. Hence, he arrived at the hospital in excellent condition.Brukner announced the death earlier Thursday in a statement, saying Huughes never regained consciousness.dddddddddddd The statement was issued shortly after Australian opener David Warner, one of the first players to help Hughes when he collapsed on the field, had left the hospital in tears.Hughes mother and sister were at the match when he was he was hurt, and kept vigil at the hospital. Clarke, a close friend, was among dozens of former and current teammates and stars of the game who visited the hospital to offer their support.Prime Minister Tony Abbott described Hughes as a young man living out his dream, adding its a very sad day for cricket and a heartbreaking day for his family.Messages of support poured in from all around the world after Hughes stumbled, leaned over and then collapsed after being hit behind the left ear when he mis-timed a short-pitch delivery while batting for South Australia against New South Wales in a Sheffield Shield match.Deaths are rare in cricket, although Hughes is the second player in two years to sustain a fatal blow.Darryn Randall, who was 32 and a former first-class player in South Africa, was killed after being struck on the side of the head during a Border Cricket Board Premier League match in the Eastern Cape last year.At the Australian Open golf tournament not far from St. Vincents, a large gallery following Adam Scott heard of Hughes death and some wiped tears from their eyes.Hughes played 26 test matches for Australia after making his debut in 2009, but despite a sparkling start to his international career at 19, he was not able to earn a regular spot in the starting lineup.After making 75 in his first test innings against South Africa in Johannesburg, he posted centuries in each innings of his second test, becoming the youngest player ever to do that in test cricket. But he struggled on the subsequent tour of England and was in and out of the Australian team four more times. He was on the verge of another test recall when he was fatally struck.The injury sparked debate about short-pitch bowling in the game.Bouncers, where a fast bowler aims to push the batsman back toward the stumps with a ball that lands halfway down the pitch and rears up above chest or head height, are still a regular and acceptable part of the game.The International Cricket Council revised its laws on short-pitch bowling in the early 1990s, putting restrictions on the number of short-pitch balls allowed per over to stamp out bowlers merely using the delivery to intimidate batsmen.Sutherland said Sean Abbott was being counselled, had visited Hughes in the hospital and had been consoled by Clarke and members of Hughes family.___AP Sports Writer John Pye in Brisbane, Australia, contributed to this story.
