Browns QBs Kessler, McCown both intend to play

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Cody Kessler will practice this week with bruised ribs on his left side with the intention of playing against the Titans on Sunday.

"That's the plan," Kessler said before Wednesday's practice. "My goal, obviously, is to be ready to go on Sunday."

Coach Hue Jackson may have a decision to make, because veteran Josh McCown also will practice for the first time since fracturing his collarbone Sept. 18 against Baltimore. Like Kessler, McCown said he was practicing with the intention of playing.

"That's obviously coach Jackson's decision," Kessler said.
