Browns Beat: Timeline for team to name its starting QB

Ideally, Browns HC Hue Jackson would like to name his starting QB before the first preseason game against the Saints on Aug. 10 at FirstEnergy Stadium, but he might need to see some live action before making up his find.

Specifically, he might want to see how rookie DeShone Kizer fares against an opposing defense when the rush is live and he's getting hit.

I think it will start to become evident early on in camp what his thinking is.
