If the Browns had to play a game yesterday, they would have started fourth-string quarterback Kevin Hogan. Fortunately, they didn’t have to play a game yesterday.
Cleveland does have a game on Sunday against the Jets, and there’s optimism that Josh McCown will be able to play. McCown said his broken collarbone is healing nicely, and he’s hoping for a good week of practice this week and full medical clearance before Sunday.
“We’re moving in that direction,” McCown told reporters in Cleveland today. “We’ll see how it goes.”
After Robert Griffin III was injured in Week One, McCown started Week Two, only to break his collarbone. Cody Kessler has started since Week Three, but he suffered a concussion on Sunday and appears to be unlikely to get cleared in time to play on Sunday.
So at the moment it appears that this week, McCown will be No. 1 and Hogan will be No. 2 at the most dangerous position since Spinal Tap drummer.
