Browns add a quarterback

Well, the Browns now have more than one healthy quarterback.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Browns signed old Eric Mangini buddy Brett Ratliff off the Patriots practice squad. Ratliff is expected to back up Colt McCoy, who looks to be in line for his first NFL start on Sunday against the Steelers. (Gulp.) Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme are both battling high ankle sprains.

Ratliff is an example of how fast life in the NFL can change. Four days ago, he joined the Patriots and was given Randy Moss’ locker. Now he’s back with Cleveland, the same organization that traded for him as part of the Jets’ move for Mark Sanchez in the 2009 draft.

The Jets found their quarterback in that deal. The Browns clearly are still searching.
