Joe Flacco’s status as the starting quarterback for this week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars is still unknown to the general public.
In a media appearance on Wednesday, Browns captain Kevin Stefanski reaffirmed the team’s decision to wait to choose a starter.
Stefanski remarked, “We’ll see how it goes this week.” “Dorian is still following the procedure, but he is making progress. I want to see how this week plays out first, but we’ll decide on that later.

“He’s working very hard to improve,” Stefanski said. “He’s made good progress.
Flacco got the starting nod against the Los Angeles Rams and gave the Browns some of the best quarterback play they have seen this season. Flacco completed 23-of-44 of his passes for 254 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His lone mistake was a costly fourth-quarter interception that turned the tide of the game.
“I think he’s a pro, he’s been around, he’s been very well coached in his career, so all those nuances about the play action game, he’s been coached up very hard on those things,” Stefanski said of Flacco. “So, not surprised, but it’s something that he’s worked hard at throughout his career.
For most, it doesn’t seem like much of a debate between Flacco and the other two options — Thompson-Robinson and PJ Walker. However, Stefanski threw some support behind Thompson-Robinson and the progress he’s made during his first year in the NFL.
“I think Dorian continues to get better. We’ve talked about him just think back to preseason, got better throughout the preseason. I think he has gotten better throughout this season,” Stefanski said. “I think we’ve all seen his skill set, know what type of player he is, but I think he’s working very hard to continue to improve as this season wears on.
