Browns quarterBEREA — back DeShone Kizer felt the dreaded migraine coming on with just over three min- utes left in the first quarter of Sunday’s 24-10 loss to the Ravens.

“I threw a nice ball to Rashard (Higgins) down the middle of the field and started noticing some of the visual things,” he said.

Four plays later, he forgot to put the man in motion on a screen pass that went off Duke Johnson’s hands and was picked off.

“My mental was a little off at the time, and I typi- cally don’t forget things like that,” he said. “I ended up with a tipped ball and getting it picked.”

When Kizer came over to the sideline, coach Hue Jackson knew something was wrong. He’s watched his perfectionist QB run that play dozens of times and he’s never forgotten to call for the motion.

“Then he ended up look- ing to a different side,” said Jackson. “So that hadn’t been the way he responded. When he came off and I asked him about it, he wasn’t very clear to me about what it was. I knew then that something wasn’t happening. And he told me, ‘Coach, my head is kinda pounding.’ “

Jackson sent Kizer to be tested, and he passed the rigorous concussion exams. Then, he was diagnosed with the migraine and treated with medication.

“There’s not much you can do for them other than trying to put something in your system after you get those signs,” he said.

Kizer acknowledged that it’s difficult to differenti- ate between concussion symptoms and a migraine. “They’re very similar,” he said. “For me, it’s just a feel- ing that you get. I’ve been getting them since I’ve been young, so I kind of under- stand that when there’s one getting ready to trigger, it’s time to take your meds and get past those symptoms as fast as you can.”

Kizer (15-of-31 passing, 182 yards, 3 INTs, 27.3 rating) said his migraines typically come twice a year, and without much warning.

“There’s nothing you can really control,” he said. “You just try to keep yourself out of stressful positions and con- tinue to have regular sleep habits and a good diet.”

He said he hasn’t had one in a game since high school, but when they come, they can be debilitating. “It can get to the point where you have some numbness in your limbs or your face, and you get an aura that continues to grow within your eyesight and doesn’t really allow you to see much and then the pain is pretty tough,” he said.

Kizer, who revealed Sunday that his migraines are hereditary, said he felt back to normal Monday, and Jackson said it won’t be a chronic issue. “Our medical team says we should hope- fully be beyond it,” he said. “We know it can happen, but hopefully we’re beyond this situation.”

Defensive end Myles Garrett (high ankle sprain) is expected to remain idle Sunday at Indianapolis, even though Jackson is waiting to formally rule him out. “I’m not going to do that yet,” he said. “Obviously, we are getting closer, but how close we are I don’t know that for sure. I think we are getting closer to him having the opportu- nity to be back out there.”

Strongside linebacker Jamie Collins is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, his status for Sunday unclear. those losses came against Cincinnati in 2009, when the Bengals sacked Rodgers six times in a 31-24 win.
