Dorsey gets the start for Cleveland

Football Betting Lines

12/26/2006 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Browns named Ken Dorsey as their starting quarterback for the season finale against the Houston Texans.

Dorsey gets the nod after backup Derek Anderson separated his shoulder in Sunday's 22-7 loss to Tampa Bay.

Starting quarterback Charlie Frye has been sidelined since early December after suffering a bone bruise on his right wrist.

The former Miami (FL) product has appeared in 11 games -- 10 starts -- with the San Francisco 49ers after getting drafted in the seventh round -- 241st overall -- in 2003.

Dorsey, who was traded with an undisclosed draft pick to Cleveland for Trent Dilfer on May 4, 2006, completed 171-of-316 passes for 1,712 yards with eight touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

"Dorsey's been here all year," said Cleveland head coach Romeo Crennel. "He has a pretty good knowledge of the system. At times he's looked pretty good at practice and I think its the best alternative under the circumstances."

The team will most likely sign quarterback Lang Campbell, who has been in training camp with the team the last two seasons. Campbell was a two-year starter at William and Mary and won the 2004 Walter Payton Award.
