If you go back to last season Kessler will be the fifth different QB to start for the Browns in the last five games. Along with two stints in San Diego, Whitehurst has also played for the Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, and Tennessee Titans.

As his Eagles defeated the Bears, 29-14, Wentz completed 21 of 34 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Cody Kessler will start Sunday against Miami while Josh McCown deals with a shoulder injury.
The team is expected to sign veteran QB Charlie Whitehurst, 34, who’s played with 4 different teams over 7 National Football League seasons. “Trust me, here we go”.
This occurred a day after a report by Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports that, just before April’s draft, the Browns fired several seasoned scouts who had expressed strong support for Wentz. I say that in fun, but that’s the nature of this sport. I hope he heals up fast, Whittaker said. With the young talent Cleveland has, their number one priority should be finding a quarterback who can play 16 games. Taking a handoff up the middle, Crowell got an excellent block from fullback Malcolm Johnson, blasted through the secondary and went untouched for the second-longest TD run in Cleveland history.
I think most of us assumed we’d see all three of Cleveland’s quarterbacks this season, but I doubt anyone had them each starting the first three weeks of the season.
Obviously, the Browns still need to find a second quarterback and Charlie Whitehurst has been mentioned.
“I think it is too early to make that decision”.
Following the game, McCown couldn’t lift his left arm and his eyes welled with tears as he talked about staying on the field.
The Browns, of course, head into this week’s game at Miami with rookie Cody Kessler as their starter. He said he doesn’t have to change his routine because he has been preparing to start since rookie minicamp in May. “So to me, it’s a good decision to go for it if you get it”. The way the Browns’ offensive line has been playing, the prospect of Cleveland having to start a fourth quarterback isn’t insane. “We’re going to get a chance to see Cody play, and we wish it wasn’t like this, but this is how it is”.
“I am sure they feel like their backs are against the wall”, Harbaugh said about the Jaguars. The only other quarterback in the building is practice squad quarterback Kevin Hogan.
“So we’ve got to fight like heck to get it back our way”.
The Browns will continue to evaluate all options at quarterback and do “everything we can to see if we can help the position first and foremost”, Jackson said.
“I have nothing to prove, ” he said.
“Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you’re ready or not”, Jackson said. “It’s kind of a next-man-up mentality and I prepared as hard as I could all week”.

He threw two interceptions and the offense slogged through much of the first half, but that didn’t matter.
