The Robert Griffin III era has hit a serious snag in Cleveland.

The former Rookie of the Year and voted captain of the 2016 Browns has been placed on injured reserve after sustaining a serious injury to his non-throwing (left) shoulder in Sunday’s season opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Griffin passed for 190 yards and rushed for another 37 in what could end up being his only start of the season. The new injured reserve policy does not force a team to identify their IR-designated to return candidate up front, so there is a chance Griffin could make it back in early November.

In the only good news the club received all day, it was announced that Griffin doesn’t need surgery, and will be checked out again by team doctors in a month.
