BEREA: Browns quarterback Josh McCown will find out Friday morning whether he’ll receive the green light from an independent neurologist to return from a concussion.
McCown will likely start Sunday against the Tennessee Titans if he is medically cleared in time to fully participate in Friday’s practice, coach Mike Pettine said. Practice is scheduled to run from 11:30 a.m.-12:55 p.m.
“If he’s cleared and practices fully tomorrow, I don’t see, barring anything unforeseen, a reason why we wouldn’t play him,” Pettine said Thursday.
In the meantime, the Browns (0-1) have been preparing backup quarterback Johnny Manziel to start the home opener against the Titans (1-0).
