"But Ive still got a lot of healing to do."
Escorted by two trainers, Holcomb was the final player to emerge from the locker room for Wednesdays workout. He began jogging but stopped after a few strides.
After sitting on the bench for almost an entire career, he doesnt want any time off.
"Im a firm believer that if you start something, you finish it," said Holcomb, who was 12-of-14 on Clevelands game-winning, 91-yard drive to beat the 49ers. "If I get out there, Im going to do my darndest."
Holcomb is listed as questionable, but head coach Butch Davis hasnt ruled him out, saying: "Lets wait and see."
Holcomb won Clevelands starting job over Tim Couch this summer after seven pro seasons as a backup, and hes not about to switch roles again unless he has to.
If Holcomb can play this week, he knows the Bengals wont take it easy on him just because hes hurt.
"This is a collision sport," he said. "Its like chumming the water, when sharks get around it, theyre going to go after it. Youre going to take some licks, you just want it to hold up. If it does get hit, you want it to be healed enough that it can take some punishment."
The Browns didnt ask Holcomb to do any running in Wednesdays practice. During the first 20 minutes when reporters are permitted to watch, Holcomb stood to the side and played catch.
Couch, Clevelands four-year starter who led the Browns to eight wins last season, took the majority of snaps with the first-team offense.
Davis wants to see how Holcomb responds to treatment over the next few days before deciding on a starter. Its possible he may not know until after pregame warmups Sunday.
"I think its important for him to go out and be able to move around, throw and plant and see if he has velocity on the ball," Davis said. "He has to be able to execute. Kelly is no different than anyone else. They have to be able to perform the duties on Sunday."
There are already signs of change at quarterback.
While Holcomb was the last player on the field before practice, Couch was the last one off it after.
