Brandon Weeden completed 13-of-30 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and an interception in Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Steelers.

Brandon Weeden has been benched. Weeden, the 22 overall pick in last year's draft, has lost his job to 31-year-old journeyman Jason Campbell. We can talk about how the new Browns regime never wanted Weeden, but the truth is that he earned this demotion. He went 103-of-195 (52.8 percent) for 1,154 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions in five games. The Browns are 0-4 in his starts and his 66.5 passer rating ranks 30th in the NFL.

Updating an earlier item, the Browns have yet to decide on their Week 8 quarterback. The word comes straight from the team. CBS' Jason La Canfora reported earlier Monday that they were sticking with Brandon Weeden. It's quite possible that will remain the case, but the Browns are wisely opting against immediately announcing Weeden will get another chance. Weeden was Tyler Palko-level bad against a Packers defense riddled with backups on Sunday. However, backup Jason Campbell was similarly inept for the Bears in 2012. We'd guess Weeden ultimately gets one more start.

The Browns will stick with Brandon Weeden at quarterback in Week 8 at Kansas City. We'd tell you to fire up the Chiefs' fantasy defense, but you already knew that. Legitimately regressing as a passer, Weeden turned in arguably the poorest game of his career in Week 7 against a decimated Green Bay defense. The 30-year-old second-year quarterback does nothing efficiently or quickly, holding onto the ball too long and making some of the slowest-developing decisions you'll ever see. CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora "wouldn't be surprised to see" Jason Campbell enter the discussion soon. Weeden will now be on a short leash.

Brandon Weeden completed 17-of-42 passes for 149 yards, one touchdown, and one interception as the Browns got spanked by the Packers in Week 7. He scrambled twice for 20 yards. Weeden only absorbed three sacks, but was under duress for most of the game mostly due to his own tendencies of holding onto the ball far too long. The Packers didn't have either of their starting outside linebackers, as Nick Perry (foot) and Clay Matthews (thumb) were both inactive. Weeden's ineptness is the primary obstacle Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron's fantasy owners have to deal with on a weekly basis. The Browns travel to Kansas City next.

Coach Rob Chudzinski confirmed Brandon Weeden will start Week 7. Weeden is now 0-3 as a starter, but the Browns aren't going to turn to Jason Campbell. "Brandon played well in spurts," Chud said Monday of his quarterback's Week 6 performance. Weeden went 26-of-43 for 292 yards with two touchdowns and two picks against the Lions. Touch matchups at Green Bay and at Kansas City over the next two weeks are scary for a quarterback uncomfortable in muddied pockets.

Brandon Weeden will start Week 6 against the Lions, as expected. Brian Hoyer (knee) is done for the year and Weeden remains ahead of Jason Campbell. Weeden struggled badly in two starts earlier this season, completing 47-of-86 passes (54.6 percent) for 516 yards with one touchdown, three picks and a pair of losses. Note that Josh Gordon was suspended for those games. Still, Weeden has shown an inability to progress through reads and move the chains consistently. Despite a big arm, he'll be a weak QB2 option going forward.

On in relief of an injured Brian Hoyer (knee), Brandon Weeden completed 13-of-24 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown in Cleveland's 37-24 Week 5 win over the Bills. Active for the first time since Week 2, Weeden was thrust into action four minutes into the game after Brian Hoyer got his right knee rolled up. Weeden zipped a few nice throws, but mostly reinforced why he had been benched in the first place. Despite holding onto the ball for far too long, Weeden still often stared down his first read, a unique combination. He took five sacks, at least 2-3 of which were the result of his inability to make a decision. He's simply not an NFL starter. It will be a big downgrade for Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron's fantasy prospects if Hoyer is lost for the season. Weeden is a bottom-five QB2.

Brandon Weeden (thumb) is active for Week 5 against the Bills. RG Shawn Lauvao (ankle) is active and making his season debut. OLB Jabaal Sheard (knee) is inactive. Weeden returns to the 46-man roster as Brian Hoyer's clear backup. Hoyer would likely need to struggle for at least 2-3 games before the Browns considered switching back to their soon-to-be 30 year old 2012 first rounder. Also inactive for the Browns are QB Jason Campbell, RB Fozzy Whittaker, C Patrick Lewis, OT Martin Wallace and LB Quentin Groves.

Brandon Weeden (thumb) has been medically cleared, but he will not start Thursday's Week 5 game against the Browns. The Browns are predictably rolling with Brian Hoyer, who has won two straight games and thrown for 590 yards with five touchdowns in the process. During Weeden's two starts, he went 0-2 while throwing for 516 yards and one touchdown. If Hoyer continues to play respectably, Weeden may have played his last down as a Brown. The new regime loves Hoyer and has no ties to Weeden.
