• PJ Walker: Set loose by Seattle

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  The Seahawks released Walker on Tuesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Walker never seemed like a true candidate to beat out Sam Howell for the No. 2 role behind Geno Smith, but he could resurface on Seattle's practice squad as the team's emergency third quarterback. The veteran signal-caller appeared in six games for the Browns last season.

  Cleveland signed Walker on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the Browns placed Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) on their injured reserve list Tuesday. Per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal, Walker is now set to back up Joe Flacco on Thursday versus the Jets. Over six games with Cleveland earlier this season, Walker posted a mediocre 6.1 yards per pass attempt and threw just one touchdown to five interceptions.

  Walker signed with the Browns' practice squad Monday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports. Walker was the odd man out in Cleveland's quarterback room when Joe Flacco was brought aboard and ended up being waived Saturday. He'll now return to the organization and help the team's organizational depth at the position.

• Browns' PJ Walker: Behind Flacco on depth chart

  11/29/2023 • By RotoWire

  Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Walker has been surpassed by Joe Flacco on Cleveland's quarterback depth chart, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports. Walker struggled in relief in Week 12 against the Broncos after starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson left the 29-12 loss early due to a concussion. Thompson-Robinson remains in concussion protocol, and even if he isn't cleared in time to play Sunday against the Rams, Flacco would get the start, with Walker backing up the 38-year-old. Flacco will presumably be elevated from the practice squad prior to Sunday, regardless of Thompson-Robinson's status.

  The Browns could turn to Dorian Thompson-Robinson rather than Walker to serve as their starting quarterback Sunday against the Steelers after the team announced Wednesday that Deshaun Watson will undergo season-ending shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Head coach Kevin Stefanski could shed more light on the Browns' plans at quarterback when he meets with the media later Wednesday, but it appears as though Walker -- who had been operating as Watson's backup for the past two games and made two starts earlier this season -- may give way to Thompson-Robinson this weekend. Meanwhile, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com relays that Cleveland is expected to look into signing another quarterback in the coming days to provide the team with a third option at the position. In his two starts plus three relief appearances behind Watson this season, Walker has thrown for one touchdown against five interceptions while completing just 48 of 98 pass attempts for 618 yards.
