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

  11D 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

  13D 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.

  13D 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.

• Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Likely to avoid multi-week absence

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson-Robinson is dealing with a injured tendon on the middle finger of his throwing hand, but the Browns don't believe he'll miss multiple weeks due to the issue, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports. While Thompson-Robinson appears on track to avoid a stint on injured reserve, the second-year quarterback's status for a Week 8 game against the Ravens is still in flux. After starter Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles injury late in the second quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Bengals, Thompson-Robinson came off the bench and completed 11 of 24 pass attempts for 82 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding 44 yards on three carries before he was lifted from the contest in the fourth quarter due to the injury. Jameis Winston came on to direct the Browns' final drive of the day, and he'll presumably be in line to start Sunday versus Baltimore.

• Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Feels good, undergoing MRI

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson-Robinson (finger) received negative X-ray results on his right middle finger Monday but is undergoing an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Thompson-Robinson was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Bengals shortly after replacing Deshaun Watson (Achilles), who exited with a season-ending injury. Both Jameis Winston and Thompson-Robinson are candidates to handle quarterback duties for Cleveland in the wake of Watson's injury, beginning Week 8 at home against Baltimore. Of course, Thompson-Robinson's health will play a key factor in determining his immediate role on offense. Thompson-Robinson was active as Watson's backup versus Cincinnati, while Winston suited up as the team's emergency third QB and led a touchdown drive on the Browns' final possession.
