Cleveland Browns QB Cody Kessler departs with possible concussion

CINCINNATI -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Cody Kessler left Sunday's game in the second quarter and was being evaluated for a possible concussion.

Kessler had just completed an 11-yard shovel pass when he was thrown hard to the turf by Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap. At the time of his injury, Kessler was 9 of 11 for 82 yards.

Backup quarterback Kevin Hogan, who had already rushed for 37 yards on three carries on Sunday, took over for Kessler.

The only other quarterbacks for the Browns -- Josh McCown (collarbone) and Robert Griffin III (shoulder) -- are both out with injuries.

Cleveland came into Sunday's game winless at 0-6.
