Cleveland Browns Keep Starting Quarterback a Mystery for Sunday's Game Against Jacksonville Jaguars
ICARO Media Group
In a perplexing move, the Cleveland Browns have decided to keep the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars under wraps. The team's head coach, Kevin Stefanski, chose not to disclose whether veteran Joe Flacco or rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson would be leading the offense.
Thompson-Robinson, who recently cleared the concussion protocol and practiced on Friday, is hoping for the opportunity to start. However, there is uncertainty surrounding the availability of wide receiver Amari Cooper, who is still in the concussion protocol and is considered questionable for the upcoming game. Cooper sustained the injury during the Browns' previous match against the Los Angeles Rams.
Flacco, who started the Rams game, had a mixed performance. He completed 23 of 44 passes for 254 yards, throwing two touchdown passes but also committing a costly interception in the final quarter. The veteran quarterback joined the Browns on November 20 after Deshaun Watson's season-ending right shoulder injury. Flacco's experience as the Super Bowl MVP with the Baltimore Ravens in 2012 adds an extra layer of intrigue to the quarterback situation in Cleveland.
Thompson-Robinson, on the other hand, has started three games this season, managing a 1-2 record. He showcased his ability to lead the team to victory in a thrilling 13-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on November 19, where he orchestrated a game-winning field goal drive.
This season has been a tumultuous one for the Browns, as they have already started four different quarterbacks – Watson, Thompson-Robinson, Flacco, and PJ Walker. This marks only the third time since at least 1950 that the team has resorted to such a quarterback carousel.
Coach Stefanski's decision to keep the starting quarterback a mystery is certainly a bold move. Fans and analysts alike are left speculating on who will take the field on Sunday and what impact their performance will have on the Browns' 7-5 season record.
As the highly anticipated game against the Jacksonville Jaguars approaches, the Browns remain tight-lipped about their starting quarterback. Fans will have to wait until kickoff to find out who will lead the charge on Sunday.
