• Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Mops up blowout loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson-Robinson went 0-for-1 in Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans in Week 11. Thompson-Robinson entered the game for Cleveland's final drive, which was a three-and-out with an incomplete pass and two runs. Starter Jameis Winston threw for 395 yards and woke up a dormant passing offense for the second time in three weeks. That suggests Winston will stay on as the starter for now, but the organization may want to get a fuller look at Thompson-Robinson before this disappointing season ends.

• Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Remains backup

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson-Robinson will remain the Browns' backup quarterback Sunday against the Saints after head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Monday that Jameis Winston will remain the team's starter, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site. Winston, who started the last two games following the season-ending injury to Deshaun Watson (Achilles), will get the nod once again in Week 11, but his leash may not be long. He threw three interceptions and was sacked six times in a Week 9 loss to the Chargers, and Stefanski mentioned keeping turnovers in check being a point of emphasis as the Browns return from a Week 10 bye. With Watson's long-term future with the Browns murky at best and Winston scheduled for free agency this offseason, Cleveland may want to get an extended look at Thompson-Robinson at some point later on this season. Through his first nine NFL appearances over two seasons, Thompson-Robinson has completed 71 of 136 pass attempts (52.2 percent) for 522 yards (3.8 YPA), one touchdown and six interceptions while carrying 17 times for 109 yards.

• Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Will work as No. 2 QB Sunday

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Thompson-Robinson (finger) will work as the backup to Jameis Winston during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Stefanski said Thompson-Robinson has looked good passing in practice despite him having sustained a tendon injury to the middle finger on his throwing hand Week 7. In the wake of Deshaun Watson (Achilles) going down to a season-ending injury, Jameis Winston will get first crack at revitalizing Cleveland's offense. Still, with the team sitting at a 1-6 record, any significant struggles on Winston's part could motivate the Browns to try and get an extended look at Thompson-Robinson, as the 2023 fifth-round pick could boast more future upside.

• Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Full participant Wednesday

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson-Robinson (finger) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Thompson-Robinson looks likely to be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens, though Jameis Winston has already been named the Week 8 starter due to concerns about how Thompson-Robinson's finger injury might affect his throwing. With the Browns heading into Sunday's contest with a 1-6 record and with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) out for the season, it may be just a matter of time until the Browns turn to Thompson-Robinson under center to see just to get an extended evaluation on the 2023 fifth-round draft pick.

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson-Robinson (finger) is in line to practice Wednesday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted Wednesday that the Browns plan to see how Thompson-Robinson progresses from his finger injury -- specifically in terms of his throwing -- before a determination on the quarterback's availability for Sunday's game against the Ravens. In any case, Jameis Winston has been confirmed as the team's starter for Week 8, with Bailey Zappe an option to back Winston up if Thompson-Robinson isn't available.
