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.
“These quarterbacks only have so many of these hits in their body,” coach Hue Jackson said.
