Rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer will start Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Head coach Hue Jackson was previously non-committal when asked if Kizer would start against the Bears Sunday. The rookie has had an up-and-down season filled with more valleys than peaks. He has just two games remaining to end the season on a positive note.

The No. 52 overall selection has completed 221-of-410 passes for 2,398 yards, nine touchdowns and 19 interceptions this season. He also has 68 carries for 350 yards and five touchdowns.

The Browns would have likely turned to Kevin Hogan if Kizer was not the starter. Hogan has served as the backup the past two games with Cody Kessler inactive.
