CLEVELAND, Ohio - Browns coach Hue Jackson announced Wednesday that Kevin Hogan will replace DeShone Kizer as the starting quarterback for Sunday's game at Houston.
Jackson reiterated that he still believes in the 21-year-old rookie as the future franchise quarterback, even though Kizer has started 0-5 and tumbled to the bottom of the NFL with a 49.5 rating.
"This does not change the way we feel about DeShone going forward,'' Jackson said. "He's worked extremely hard and still very much has a bright future. Right now, it's better for him and his development to back up Kevin.
