The Cleveland Browns quarterback, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, is still recovering from a concussion, but he is being patient.
Following his November 26 concussion against the Denver Broncos, the rookie quarterback has remained in the protocol. While away from the field, Thompson-Robinson has been rather silent, but on Wednesday, December 6, he shared an insightful Instagram picture.
Thompson-Robinson shared a snapshot of himself on and off the field along with the caption, “In due time.
Thompson-Robinson practiced for the first time on Wednesday in a limited capacity. He’s still in concussion protocol getting on the field was a good step in the right direction.
The Browns have yet to name a starter and it would appear that Thompson-Robinson is at least under consideration.
“I think we got to see how it goes. I think that’s what’s important in this situation,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said on Wednesday, December 4. “Dorian obviously hasn’t cleared just yet, but he’s going to practice, so I want to see how it looks.
Thompson-Robinson’s NFL debut didn’t go as planned earlier this season. The rookie drew a short-notice start against the Baltimore Ravens on October 1 and tossed three interceptions in a 28-3 loss.
The Browns decided to go back to him after Deshaun Watson was ruled out for the year due to a broken bone in his shoulder on November 15. In all, Thompson-Robinson has passed for 429 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions this season.
It’s not the prettiest stat line but Stefanski has been satisfied with the fifth-round pick’s growth.
“I think Dorian continues to get better. We’ve talked about him, Just think back to preseason, got better throughout the preseason,” Stefanski said. “I think he has gotten better throughout this season. 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.”
