Oct 25, 2024 1:39 pm: Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Thompson-Robinson (finger) will work as the backup to Jameis Winston during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Stefanski said Thompson-Robinson has looked good passing in practice despite his having sustained a tendon injury to the middle finger on his throwing hand Week 7. In the wake of Deshaun Watson (Achilles) going down to a season-ending injury, Jameis Winston will get first crack at revitalizing Cleveland's offense. Still, with the team sitting at a 1-6 record, any significant struggles on Winston's part could motivate the Browns to try and get an extended look at Thompson-Robinson, as the 2023 fifth-round pick could boast more future upside.
