Cody Kessler Named Browns’ Starting QB vs. Dolphins over Charlie Whitehurst

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson announced Wednesday that Cody Kessler will start Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.
During the press conference, Jackson praised the rookie’s work ethic, per Ulrich:

The team placed RG III on the injured reserve list after he fractured a bone in his left shoulder in Week 1, while McCown is likely to miss a lengthy spell after suffering a shoulder injury on Sunday.
NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano noted Cleveland’s starting QB job has become a revolving door:
