The revolving door at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns could continue Sunday, with coach Kevin Stefanski saying both Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe are preparing to play against the Baltimore Ravens in the season finale.

Stefanski told reporters Tuesday that he was undecided as to who would start.

"There's certainly a chance that I could play Bailey and Dorian in this game," Stefanski said. "Jameis [Winston] is still working through that shoulder injury. So, I envision him being the emergency quarterback in this game. And then there's potential to play both guys."

The Browns (3-13) started the campaign with Deshaun Watson at quarterback, turning to Winston after Watson's season-ending Achilles tear in a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 20. Winston then started seven games and Thompson-Robinson the past two, both losses.

In six appearances this season, the 25-year-old Thompson-Robinson is 59-of-115 passing (51.3 percent) for 427 yards with no touchdowns and six interceptions. He's been sacked seven times.

Zappe, 25, was signed off the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad after the Watson injury. He appeared in 14 career games with the New England Patriots over the past two seasons, going 4-4 as a starter. In his career, he is a 63.2 percent passer, throwing for 2,053 yards with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

The Browns have used 39 different starting quarterbacks since 1999.
