          CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Browns' Twitter feed was just keeping fans up to date during Sunday's game against New England.

          In doing so, it summed up the status of the team's quarterback position, which continued to be a smoldering mess.

          Cody Kessler started and led the Browns to a touchdown on his second drive. But on his third, he dropped back from his 10 and was smothered by linebacker Dont'a Hightower. Kessler tried to throw but lost the ball, and it eventually rolled out of the side of the end zone for a safety.

          Kessler landed on his right shoulder and was slow to get up. He soon went to the locker room and did not return.

          The tweets came within three minutes of each other.

          If Kessler cannot return for the next game, Terrelle Pryor or Charlie Whitehurst will start in Tennessee.

          Whoever it is will be the 27th different starter since the Browns' expansion era began in 1999.
