The Browns want to give Kessler another shot as the starter, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team plans to release Robert Griffin and hopes to trade the recently-acquired Brock Osweiler. If both moves go through, Kessler and Kevin Hogan will be the remaining quarterbacks ahead of a draft that's weak at the position. A 2016 third-round selection, Kessler displayed some promise in limited action as a rookie, completing 65.6 percent of his passes for 7.1 yards per attempt, with six touchdowns and two interceptions. He was good enough to get another shot, but not quite impressive enough to preclude the addition of competition.

Kessler came in for an injured Robert Griffin (concussion), and completed two of three passes for 11 yards in Saturday's 20-17 win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler came in with his team up 20-17 with 10:20 to play, and wasn't asked to do much as they continued to milk the clock and watch the Chargers miss field goals. The rookie will likely start the season finale at Pittsburgh if RG3 isn't cleared by then, as the Browns can fully focus on developing their quarterback of the future now that they finally have a win under their belt.

Kessler will remain the Browns' No. 2 quarterback in Week 15, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler will be in line to replace Robert Griffin upon the occurrence of a possible injury, according to coach Hue Jackson. In such a case, Josh McCown may be held inactive against the Bills as Cleveland has only been activating two quarterbacks on game days.

Kessler will be the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday's tilt with the Bengals, Andrew Gribble of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Robert Griffin (shoulder) named the starter for Week 14, Kessler will remain on the bench after missing the past few weeks due to a concussion. Griffin, who will be taking the field for the first time since Week 1, has had a history of injuries, leaving the rookie Kessler waiting in the wings should something go wrong Sunday.

Kessler cleared concussion protocol and returned to practice Monday, NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler missed Sunday's latest loss after sustaining his second concussion of the season, but he'll now have a couple weeks to retune his game before the Browns return from their bye and play the Bengals in Week 14. While there hasn't been confirmation yet, coach Hue Jackson's previous decisions make it reasonable to anticipate that Kessler will reclaim Cleveland's starting quarterback job from veteran Josh McCown for that contest.

Kessler (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

With Kessler dealing with his second concussion of the season, it's unclear if the Browns are inclined to roll him out down the stretch, but this week at least, veteran Josh McCown will get the team's starting QB nod, while Robert Griffin continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury.

Kessler (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Josh McCown has already been tabbed as the starter for Sunday's game against the Giants, and though it remains to be seen if Kessler will be healthy enough to assume backup duties, it's unlikely. The Browns are still considering shutting him down after he suffered his second concussion of the year against the Steelers, and with Robert Griffin practicing again, we may not see Kessler on the field again for some time.

Coach Hue Jackson acknowledged that it's a "possibility" Kessler might have to be shut down due to his latest concussion, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler dealt with a concussion earlier this season and with the Browns 0-11, it makes little sense to rush the QB back. Per Cabot, if Kessler is out next weekend, Josh McCown would be in line to start Week 12's game against the Giants, with fellow QB Robert Griffin improving, but probably not a candidate to ready for game action by then.

Kessler exited Sunday's game against the Steelers at the end of the third quarter in order to be evaluated for a concussion, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a result, veteran Josh McCown took over at QB for the Browns, who had entered the weekend with an 0-10 record.

Kessler will remain the Browns' starting quarterback despite being benched in the third quarter of Thursday night's loss to the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler was yanked from Thursday's game after completing 11 of 18 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown. While those numbers aren't all that bad, coach Hue Jackson said he pulled Kessler for veteran Josh McCown in order to get an offensive spark. That certainly didn't happen, though, as McCown went on to commit three turnovers and go three-and-out on his other two drives. As a result, Kessler will continue to start in Week 11 against the Steelers, when he'll look to improve his third-down efficiency, as he's converted just two of 15 tries over the past two games.
