Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Enters for benched starter

Thompson-Robinson completed four of nine passes for 18 yards, rushed three times for 16 yards and threw an interception in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City.

Thompson-Robinson relieved Jameis Winston, who threw multiple interceptions for a third consecutive week while leading an offense that gained just 228 yards over 12 drives. However, Thompson-Robinson didn't do any better in his two series. It was the second-year pro out of UCLA's most significant action since Week 7, when he entered for an injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and threw two interceptions. In two NFL seasons, Thompson-Robinson has thrown seven interceptions in 75 drop-backs. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski has not indicated if there will be a shift at quarterback in Week 16, but it makes sense the club would give DTR a longer look as it plays out the final three weeks, as he has a better chance of being part of the 2025 roster than pending free agent Winston does.
