| BEREA, Ohio -- Three months later, Robert Griffin III is starting anew with the Browns.RG3 wants to make the wait worth it.Its all about being in the right situation at the right time, he said Thursday.Griffin, who didnt make it out of Clevelands season opener without getting hurt, will make his second start on Sunday when the 0-12 Browns host the Cincinnati Bengals.Griffin hasnt played since breaking a bone in his left shoulder in the Sept. 11 season opener at Philadelphia, an injury that only strengthened the argument that hes brittle and set the stage for the worst stretch in Browns history.But after showing coach Hue Jackson in practice that hes healthy and ready, Griffin will make just his second start since 2014.Its another chance to show doubters that hes durable and perhaps the beginning of a four-game audition to prove to the Browns that he can be their long-term answer at quarterback.My job is to go out there and make them believe that, he said. Every single day that you come into the building, you have to show the coaches, show the organization youre going to do what it takes to be that guy.That doesnt change just because they name you the starter or just because youre playing. Its an everyday thing. Not just a Sunday thing.Thats always been my focus is to come in here and show my teammates that I can do this for them. If we all do our job equally, we can go out there and win football games and thats the bottom line.In a season thats been a straight line drop, the Browns have come full circle with Griffin, who signed with the team in March hoping to revive his career after being released by Washington.Jackson held off until Wednesday night before telling Griffin he would start. Its the sixth quarterback change this season for the rebuilding Browns, who have been overrun by injuries. Jackson watched and re-watched practice film before settling on Griffin, who will be backed up Sunday by rookie Cody Kessler.He gives us a chance to win, Jackson said, adding that he needs a larger sampling size on Griffin before making any judgments about him for the future. Im not expecting for everything to go perfect.You dont want to put that kind of pressure on anybody. Again, its his second game in a little over maybe two years. So hopefully it will go right. But if it doesnt thats OK, too.We all understand the situation that hes in and that hes facing. But I think hes up to the challenge.In his debut for the Browns, Griffin completed 12 of 26 passes for 190 yards and an interception. He got hurt in the fourth quarter when he was hit while trying to run out of bounds, taking an unnecessary hit near the sideline.But after knocking off some rust, Griffin made good throws in practice and showed enough of a grasp of the offense for Jackson to bring him back.Jacksons counting on Griffin to play without fear.That is what I have seen in practice, he said. I wanted to really evaluate it all because sometimes, guys tell you they can do that, but they will not do that. We wont really know until Sunday, but I think what I have seen in practice is a guy who is ready to play. We will put him out there and go from there.Griffin wore a No Pressure, No Diamonds hooded sweatshirt when he met with reporters. Its a motto he first adopted while winning the Heisman Trophy at Baylor, where the Bears turned around their program and its a mantra he lives by now.Its nothing that I force on anybody, but it speaks volumes to what were going through here, too, he said. Were trying to change the culture and we want to get late in the season, and then next year to have an opportunity to make a run for a championship.Jackson said Griffin needs to show the Browns he can make it through a grind through a 16-game season. The 26-year-old has missed time with knee, ankle and shoulder injuries.The most important thing about that position is availability, Jackson said. And I think he gets that. It (the shoulder injury was) unfortunate. We cant change that. All he can do is play now and show what he can do for this team and for all of us.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Titans Jerseys For Sale .

Avisail Garcia doubled twice, scored a run and knocked in another, and Hector Santiago (4-7) earned his first win in nearly two months by limiting the Twins to two runs -- one earned -- on nine hits over six quality innings. Chicago won the final three games in the set, in part because Minnesota went 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position while squandering 12 baserunners on Sunday.

Deduno plunked three hitters in the first three innings, and the first two wound up scoring. Gordon Beckham was hit in the first frame, took second on a balk and scored on Ramirezs single through the middle. Two innings later, Alejandro De Aza was hit in the foot and later scored on a double from Ramirez, who raced around foor a 3-1 White Sox lead on Garcias two-bagger.dddddddddddd Minnesota got its first run in the second inning when Trevor Plouffe doubled, advanced to third on an error and was pushed across on an Oswaldo Arcia groundout. The Twins added another in the third on Josh Willinghams RBI double, but Willingham was tagged out at home when he tried scoring on a wild pitch. Ramirez continued his big day with a leadoff blast to left field in the fifth, and Jeff Keppinger made it a 5-2 game with a two-out, run-scoring single later in the inning. Matt Lindstrom threw two innings of relief behind Santiago, and Addison Reed closed it out in the ninth for his 31st save.
