Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme not practicing because of ankle injury

Browns’ QB Jake Delhomme still out

BEREA, Ohio — Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme is not practicing again because of an ankle injury that kept him out of Sunday’s home opener.

Delhomme injured his ankle in Cleveland’s Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay. He did not practice last week and was inactive Sunday when the Browns lost 16-14 to Kansas City. Seneca Wallace started and may have to again this week at Baltimore if Delhomme can’t go.

Coach Eric Mangini would not put a percentage on Delhomme playing against the Ravens and their fearsome defense. Mangini said Delhomme has been improving and he remains optimistic the 35-year-old will be able to play.

Wallace, who dropped to 5-10 in 15 career starts, was the 15th different quarterback to start for the Browns since 1999. Rookie Colt McCoy was Wallace’s backup Sunday.
