LOS ANGELES — The Cleveland Browns have elevated veteran Joe Flacco as their No. 2 quarterback behind injured starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson, potentially putting Flacco in line to start Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Thompson-Robinson remains in the concussion protocol and sat out Wednesday's practice. Flacco, the 2013 Super Bowl MVP while with the Baltimore Ravens, would be the fourth quarterback to start for the Browns this season. «Big, strong arm.
Obviously, he can make every throw,» Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said of 38-year-old Flacco. «He's done a very nice job in the meeting room, getting to know his teammates, getting to know the system.
He's done a nice job.» Thompson-Robinson started the previous two games for Cleveland but suffered a concussion during a 29-12 loss at the Denver Broncos this past Sunday.
