Hogan takes over for Kizer as starting QB of Browns

-

Rookie Deshone Kizer was replaced as Cleveland’s quarterbac­k by backup Kevin Hogan, who will be the 28th different starter for the Browns since 1999.

Kizer regressed in recent weeks, throwing intercepti­ons and prompting coach Hue Jackson to make a change. Hogan will start this week at Houston.

Jackson benched Kizer at halftime of Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets for Hogan, who threw a pair of touchdown passes and moved the offense.

Kizer leads the league with nine intercepti­ons — four inside the red zone. The second-round pick from Notre Dame has showed promise, and Jackson still believes the 21-year-old can develop into a quality starter.
