BEREA, Ohio (AP) – Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme is not practicing for the third straight day, increasing the chances that backup Seneca Wallace will start Cleveland’s home opener against Kansas City.
Delhomme injured his right ankle last week in a loss at Tampa Bay and has been receiving treatment all week. Browns coach Eric Mangini said Delhomme has improved and did not rule him out from playing against the Chiefs.
Mangini said he wanted to get through Friday’s practice before making a decision on his starter. He added that he and the coaching staff have total confidence in Wallace, who made 14 career starts in seven seasons with Seattle.
Nose tackle Shaun Rogers is back at practice after missing two days, and Mangini believes he will play against the Chiefs. Linebacker D’Qwell Jackson, who has been sidelined since Aug. 10 with a chest muscle injury, is back practicing on a limited basis.
