CLEVELAND, Ohio -- DeShone Kizer's step back to the sidelines probably won't last long.



Coach Hue Jackson said he'll name his starter for Sunday's game against the Titans by Wednesday, and he sounded again like he'll go back to Kizer over Kevin Hogan, who threw three first-half interceptions during Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Texans.



Jackson re-iterated that Kizer is 'huge part of the future here'' and that will be a big part of his thinking process. If the Browns are going to have a young quarterback out there struggling with a sub-par supporting cast, it might as well be their possible quaterback of the future.

The Browns need to know if Kizer can be the guy with a big, QB-rich draft coming up in 2018.

Jackson said Kizer learned a lot from standing on the sidelines Sunday, and will be better for it when he returns to action.

"DeShone learned a lot of things,'' he said. "When you see some of the things that have happened to you in games and you can see it happening with somebody else that hurts your football team, you understand why you don't (do that).

"The turnovers are putting the team at risk. When there's a chance to score points and here comes a turnover coming the other way, it doesn't give your offensive football team the best opportunity to have success. I think seeing some of the re-protection ID things that came up a little bit yesterday was very eye-opening to him, and it was a good experience for him."

So what will be different for Kizer going forward?



"Two things,'' said Jackson. "He'll be a little bit more team-protecting in situational football things. He'll understand that better and really what it does to your team as you are in those situations. No. 2, I think he will demand more from the guys that play around him because he understands that every play matters and every play is a difference between having a chance to win or lose a game.''

In his five starts, Kizer tumbled to the bottom of the NFL with a 49.5 rating. He was also last in the league with a 50.9 completion percentage and had thrown a league-high nine interceptions.

But the Browns will likely ride it out with him as long as possible to see if he can be their QB of the future and to make plans for the 2018 QB-rich draft.
