DeShone Kizer Named Browns' Starting QB vs. Titans over Kevin Hogan

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson announced Wednesday that rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer will return to a starting role for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Tennessee Titans.

Kevin Hogan started in place of Kizer last week after the rookie struggled in the season's first five games, but Hogan likewise faltered during a 33-17 loss against the Houston Texans.

Hogan completed just 20 of his 37 pass attempts for 140 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in his first career NFL start.

According to Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official website, Jackson suggested Kizer is now better prepared to start after going through some trials and tribulations.
