CLE: HC Mangini tells QBs which will start

Sep 09, 2009

Browns coach Eric Mangini said this morning that he informed Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson Tuesday night which of them won the quarterback competition to be the starter for Sunday's opener against the Minnesota Vikings.

He said they both took the news exactly as he anticipated, with professionalism. He said he has not yet told the rest of the team, "but I think they'll be able to figure it out.''

The players will know the starter when the team lines up for 11-on-11 drills in practice this morning, which begins at 11:30 a.m. The practice is open to the media for the first 30 minutes, but only for individual and position drills.

Mangini still hopes to keep the starter a secret from the Vikings until gametime.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
