The Cleveland Browns simply cannot catch a break in the right direction this season.
In their 33-13 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, starting quarterback Cody Kessler left the game in the first quarter with a rib injury. Entering the game was recently acquired journeyman quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, aka Clipboard Jesus. Whitehurst threw for 182 yards and had one touchdown and one interception in his Browns debut.
Whitehurst exited the game late in the fourth quarter with an apparent knee injury. The Browns released Whitehurst on Tuesday afternoon after reaching an injury settlement with the veteran.
