Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images The Cleveland Browns made it official Wednesday, naming Dorian Thompson-Robinson their starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Thompson-Robinson supplants Jameis Winston as QB1 for this week, but Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was noncommittal about the starter for the final two games.
Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-round draft pick in 2023 out of UCLA, has come off the bench in four games this season, completing 15 of 34 passes for 100 yards and three interceptions.
The 25-year-old made starts in three of his eight appearances as a rookie last season, completing 53.6 percent of his passes for 440 yards, one touchdown and four picks. A concussion led to Joe Flacco taking over in Week 14.
In addition to the concussion, Thompson-Robinson dealt with shoulder and hip injuries in 2023.
Known for his mobility, Thompson-Robinson has 125 yards rushing in 20 attempts the past two seasons.
Taking over for an injured Deshaun Watson in Week 8, Winston went 2-5 as Cleveland's starter. He has completed 61.1 percent of his passes this season for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Eight of those picks have come in the past three weeks as the Browns (3-11) went 0-3.
