Justin Gilbert Will Start for Joe Haden at Cornerback; Pierre Desir a Healthy Scratch

The story with CB Justin Gilbert just gets better and better, doesn't it?

After former Browns.com writer Kevin Jones posted an annihilation piece on the second-year cornerback just hours before the game, the team announced that Gilbert will make his first start of the season in place of the concussed Joe Haden.

Leading up to the game, defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil said that the cornerback besides Tramon Williams with the "best week of practice" would get the start for Haden.
