Cleveland Browns rookie QB Cody Kessler will still practice at the rookie minicamp even if he doesn’t sign by the start of camp Thursday, May 12, due to the injury protection clause.

Footballguys View: Kessler is who he is – a guy who won’t make a lot of mistakes but who is risk averse to a fault. He’s unlikely to be a threat to Robert Griffin III in his rookie year, and we’re not sure we expect much of him down the road either. That said, Hue Jackson has made decent quarterbacks look great before, so we have some hope.
