Dorian Thompson-Robinson has yet to clear concussion protocol, putting Joe Flacco in line to start again for the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns provided an update on Thompson-Robinson on Monday after he missed Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. When asked if Thompson-Robinson is still in concussion protocol, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski responded with a simple: “He is.
Thompson-Robinson was named the starter shortly after franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson was ruled out for the rest of the season with a broken bone in his shoulder. Thompson-Robinson started a pair of games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos. He was knocked out of the game against the Broncos in the third quarter after taking a hard hit to the head.
Before that, Thompson-Robinson started a Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens but tossed three interceptions on short notice. The Browns turned over the reins to PJ Walker after that for a pair of starts and the majority of a third game where Watson tried to come back but exited after a quarter. Walker will be the No. 3 QB on the depth chart once Thompson-Robinson is cleared.
