Palm Beach, Fla.- The Browns are under consideration to host a prime-time game on Thanksgiving Day.
It would be the third of the three games on the holiday, following the traditional games in Detroit and Dallas. A third Thanksgiving Day game was created by the NFL three years ago to kick off the schedule of regular-season games shown on the NFL Network.
The Browns last played on Thanksgiving in 1989 in Detroit. They last played in prime time on a Thursday night in Pittsburgh in 2006.

A source with the team said the Thanksgiving appearance is a rumor at this point. But this is the period teams usually hear rumors about upcoming schedules. The complete NFL schedule is expected to be released in a week or two.
The Browns were not included in the four prime-time games of the first weekend of the 2008 season which were announced Monday. Those games include the Super Bowl champion New York Giants hosting Washington to open the season on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 7 p.m., followed by Chicago at Indianapolis in prime time on Sunday, Sept. 7, and Minnesota at Green Bay (7 p.m.) and Denver at Oakland (10:15 p.m.) in a Monday night doubleheader.
