BEREA, Ohio — Browns quarterback Colt McCoy is practicing and expects to start Thursday against Pittsburgh.

McCoy sprained his right knee in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to Baltimore. He was seen limping around the team's facility on Monday, but Browns coach Pat Shurmur said McCoy participated in Tuesday's pre-practice walkthrough and "is ready to roll." McCoy will be facing the Steelers for the second time as a pro. He made his NFL debut at Heinz Field last season, and showed great poise and potential in a loss.

McCoy is still looking for his first win against an AFC North team. He's 0-7 heading into his matchup with the Steelers, who will visit Cleveland in the season finale on Jan. 1.

Shurmur said it's obviously vital to win division games, but they will not carry extra weight when the club evaluates McCoy in the offseason.
