The Browns claimed former Packers quarterback Joe Callahan off waivers from the Saints while their situation behind center becomes clearer, the club confirmed Monday.
The Browns also claimed offensive lineman Gabe Ikard off waivers from Buffalo. Defensive back Darius Hillary and fullback Malcolm Johnson were waived to make room for both players.
Third-rounder Cody Kessler has started for the Browns since Sept. 25 due to a barrage of injuries first striking then-starter Robert Griffin III and backup Josh McCown.Yet, with Kessler in the concussion protocol after Sunday's 31-17 loss versus Cincinnati, it's unclear who will start for the league's last remaining winless team at this point.
