Taylor returned, but he remained in the locker room in the second half for treatment and left FirstEnergy Stadium before speaking to the media.
Taylor was 11-for-16 passing on the night for 65 yards.
Taylor was expected to undergo more tests Friday. He went on social media to thank Cleveland fans for prayers and promised to make good on an appearance commitment.
Thanks for the prayers Cleveland I’m doing well. Come meet me later @XHIBITION_ at 6:30pm.

Browns coach Hue Jackson is expected to provide an update on Taylor, who is starting ahead of Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 overall draft pick.
Mayfield replaced Taylor in the first half and got his first snaps with Cleveland’s first-team offense.
The No. 1 overall pick mixed impressive throws with an interception, finishing the game 8-for-12 for 76 yards.
