CINCINNATI: There’s a reason a sling, bandages and a football jersey make a good Halloween costume for fans who want to dress as a Browns quarterback.
Injuries at the sport’s most important position have crippled the Browns this season, and the trend continued when quarterback Cody Kessler was knocked out of their 31-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
Fellow rookie Kevin Hogan filled in at quarterback for the Browns after Kessler suffered a concussion with 7:27 left in the second quarter.
Hogan, who spent the first five weeks of the season on the practice squad, became the sixth Browns player to appear at quarterback this season, including wide receiver Terrelle Pryor.
