Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Cody Kessler will start Sunday against Miami while Josh McCown deals with a shoulder injury.Browns coach Hue Jackson said McCown is considered week to week, but its likely he will miss a couple of games.He is one of the toughest human beings I have seen play in a long time, Jackson said of McCown. He showed tremendous grit yesterday hanging in there.The Browns will start their third quarterback of the season and fifth in five games. McCown started Sunday in place of Robert Griffin III, out for a minimum of eight games after he was injured in Week 1. Johnny Manziel started in Week 15 last season, and Austin Davis was under center for the last game.After this past Sundays 25-20 home-opening loss to the Baltimore Ravens, McCown said his left shoulder and arm were all right and that he planned to play in Miami.Kessler will be the 26th quarterback to start for Cleveland since 1999. The surprise third-round pick struggled during training camp and the exhibition season while learning Jacksons offense.Youd love to have that luxury (of a veteran), but sometimes youre not afforded that, Jackson said, adding that the team will scour the waiver wire.The Browns also lost starting center Cameron Erving (bruised lung) and rookie defensive end Carl Nassib (broken hand) against the Ravens.Jackson said that Erving will miss Sundays game and be week to week. Nassib will need surgery, will be out this week, but will be week to week after that. Jackson said its the kind of injury he can protect with a pad or cast and play.Late in the first quarter Sunday, McCown left for the locker room to have his left shoulder examined. At that point, his return was described as questionable.McCown returned for the Browns first possession of the second quarter and did not miss another play -- although at times it appeared he might.McCown grimaced in pain several times after being hit. At one point, it seemed he might not be able to return, but he did.The scene was reminiscent of last season, when McCown tried to play through broken ribs. McCown eventually missed two games, returned and was lost for the season with a broken left collarbone.As of Sunday evening, McCown and rookie Kessler were the only two quarterbacks on the roster. Rookie Kevin Hogan is on the practice squad, and Jackson said he may get promoted. Going into a game with Kessler and Hogan seems risky, but not a lot riskier than going in with Kessler and a player signed off the street during the week.The options on the street are not great. Michael Vick is available, and Aaron Murray is on the Eagles practice squad. Names such as Matt Flynn, T.J. Yates, Charlie Whitehurst, Tarvaris Jackson and Jimmy Clausen also might circulate. And the Browns could try the longshot move of talking Jason Campbell out of retirement; Campbell played for Jackson in Oakland.But with Jimmy Garoppolo injured and Tom Brady suspended, the Patriots also are looking for a quarterback, so the Browns would have competition for the top free agents.Meanwhile, the Browns have to move on despite the chaos at the quarterback position.This is pro football and these things happen. Maybe not to to this degree anyplace Ive been, Jackson said. Ive been toughened before.Jackson added: Were not getting dragged under, I promise you that. Were going to keep fighting.Information from ESPNs Pat McManamon and the Associated Press was used in this report. Ken Griffey Jersey .

With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and took bronze in 2005.LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw outpitched a familiar foe for his first win in more than a month. Kershaw was a bit better than Tim Lincecum in the seventh regular-season matchup between former Cy Young Award winners, rookie Yasiel Puig had three more hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Wednesday night for a three-game sweep of the defending World Series champions. "I had better fastball command tonight than I had in the past," Kershaw said after his first victory in seven starts since May 20. "There were a few three- or four-pitch sequences there where there was a lapse. So theres some little things to work on here and there. But overall, it was better tonight for sure." Kershaw (6-5) allowed two runs and four hits in eight-plus innings and had seven strikeouts against an offence that totalled just 14 runs over its previous six games while going 8 for 47 with runners in scoring position. The Giants only runs came in the fourth on Buster Poseys 10th homer and second in two games, following a 14-game drought. The left-hander, who led the NL in ERA each of the previous two seasons, has a 2.06 mark through his first 17 starts -- tying Pittsburghs Jeff Locke for second place, .01 behind the Mets Matt Harvey. When Kershaw won his Cy Young Award in 2011, he was 5-0 with a 1.07 ERA in six starts against the Giants that season -- and four of those victories came in games that Lincecum was the opposing pitcher. "Hopefully we keep pitching against each other for a long time," Kershaw said. "But its not a matter of facing him, but facing the eight other guys. And Im sure hed say the same thing." Kenley Jansen got three outs for his sixth save in eight attempts after Kershaw gave up a leadoff single in the ninth by Marco Scutaro. The right-hander retired pinch-hitter Brandon Belt on a broken-bat popup with runners at first and second to end it -- opponents are 0 for 32 against him with men in scoring position. "He came up with the tying run at the plate and went right through the heart of the order," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said, "so that was a big test for him." Lincecum (4-8) gave up four runs and 10 hits in 5 1-3 innings and struck out four. The two-time Cy Young winner is 1-7 with a 5.24 ERA in his last eight starts since beating Atlanta 5-1 on May 12 with seven innings of two-hit ball. The Giants have scored fewer than three runs in six of Lincecums last eight outings. "You kind of look forward to it, just because it make you rise to the occasion and pitch better," Lincecum said of facing Kershaw.dddddddddddd. "I was more intent on being aggressive, but I just didnt put pitches where I needed to and when I should have." The Giants have lost four in a row and nine of 12, putting them a season-worst two games under .500 and dropping them into fourth place in the NL West. They are 3 1/2 games behind the division-leading Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers got the jump on Lincecum with an RBI single in the third inning by Hanley Ramirez. But the Giants, who came in batting a league-best .285 against left-handed starters, responded in the fourth with Poseys 10th home run after a leadoff walk to Scutaro. It was first homer by last years NL MVP in his first 40 career at-bats against Kershaw, and snapped a stretch of 30 consecutive innings in which the Giants hadnt held a lead. "You cant walk Scutaro leading off that inning, especially after we just got a run," Kershaw said. "I mean, Poseys going to hit homers -- thats what he does -- but it should have been a solo homer." That lead evaporated in the sixth, when the Dodgers pulled ahead to stay. Andre Ethier delivered the tying run with an RBI single and Ellis followed with a run-scoring double into the left field corner. Juan Uribe got an infield hit and Lincecum ended his night with a wild pitch to Skip Schumaker that allowed Ellis to score. Lincecum got a break in the fifth on another overaggressive rookie mistake by Puig, who tried to stretch a two-out single into a double and was easily thrown out by left fielder Andres Torres. This was Puigs 13th multihit game and sixth with three hits since his big league debut June 3. He is batting. 435 in his first 22 contests. NOTES: Dodgers CF Matt Kemp, who made a circus catch in the warning track to rob Scutaro of extra bases for the final out on Tuesday night in his first game off the disabled list, was not in the starting lineup but came in for defence on a double-switch in the ninth. ... Lincecum is 0-5 in six road starts since beating the Dodgers 5-3 on April 3 in his season debut. Barry Zito, 0-4 with an 11.28 ERA on the road, takes the ball for the opener of the Giants three-game series at Colorado on Friday night. ... Kershaw has held the Giants to fewer than three runs in 17 of his l9 starts against them. ... The Giants were swept in a three-game set at Dodger Stadium for the first time since April 2009. ' ' '
