Dorian Thompson-Robinson Named Browns Starting QB for Bengals Matchup

The second-year quarterback sees this as a chance to secure his long-term role as Cleveland's starter amidst ongoing struggles at the position.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start for the Browns against the Bengals after Jameis Winston was benched following a string of turnovers, including eight interceptions in his last three games.
Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-round pick in 2023, aims to prove he can be Cleveland's long-term solution at quarterback, treating this opportunity as an extended audition for 2025 and beyond.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski praised Thompson-Robinson’s preparation and growth in his second year, highlighting his improved command of the offense and attention to detail.
Jameis Winston, who threw for 2,038 yards and 12 touchdowns but also 12 interceptions in seven starts, expressed disappointment in his demotion but remains committed to supporting the team and improving his game.
The Browns face uncertainty at quarterback heading into next season, with Deshaun Watson recovering from injury and potential options including Thompson-Robinson, Winston, or external candidates.
