Thompson-Robinson completed two of three passes for 13 yards and rushed twice for three yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 18. Thompson-Robinson entered for Cleveland's third drive of the game after starter Bailey Zappe threw a pick-six on the second possession. That was it for DTR, who had started and played fully in both of the Browns' two previous games. Cleveland's quarterback situation heading into the offseason is a mess, and it's safe to assume Thompson-Robinson will not be part of the solution in 2025. He completed 52 percent (61-of-118) of passes and threw six interceptions over seven games in 2024.

Thompson-Robinson completed two of three passes for 13 yards and rushed twice for three yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 18. Thompson-Robinson entered for Cleveland's third drive of the game after starter Bailey Zappe threw a pick-six on the second possession. That was it for DTR, who had started and played fully in both of the Browns' two previous games. Cleveland's quarterback situation heading into the offseason is a mess, and it's safe to assume Thompson-Robinson will not be part of the solution in 2025. He completed 52 percent (61-of-118) of passes and threw six interceptions over seven games in 2024.
Thompson-Robinson (calf) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game against the Ravens and will move into a backup role behind Bailey Zappe, who will draw the start at quarterback in the season finale, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. That said, Cabot notes that Thompson-Robinson, who went 0-2 while starting the Browns' previous two games, is also expected to get some playing time versus Baltimore, based on head coach Kevin Stefanski's comments from earlier this week. Thompson-Robinson had been managing a calf issue, but he seems to have cleared up most of the concern about his health by being a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Thompson-Robinson (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Thompson-Robinson played through the same calf injury during Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami, completing 24 of 47 passes for 170 yards and an interception while running four times for 10 yards (and losing a fumble). Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said he's unsure about his Week 18 starter and may use both Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe under center.
Thompson-Robinson (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Thompson-Robinson suffered the calf injury in the Browns' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, but after opening Week 17 prep with a pair of limited practices, he upgraded to full participation Friday before heading into last Sunday's game against the Dolphins without a designation. While making a second straight start in Cleveland's 20-3 loss to Miami, Thompson-Robinson struggled to move the offense, completing just 24 of 47 passes for 170 yards, no touchdowns and one interception to go with 10 yards and a lost fumble on four carries. The calf issue shouldn't prevent Thompson-Robinson from being available Saturday in Baltimore, though head coach Kevin Stefanski said earlier Tuesday that he's still deciding on a Week 18 starter and could end up using both Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe in the season finale, per Cabot.
Thompson-Robinson completed 24 of 47 pass attempts for 170 yards and one interception while rushing four times for 10 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami. Thompson-Robinson continued to struggle in his second consecutive start for Cleveland, as he has committed two turnovers with no touchdowns accounted for in as many games. The 3-13 Browns have been starting DTR in what can't be explained as a tanking strategy but certainly feels like one with Jameis Winston (shoulder) serving as the team's emergency third quarterback the past two weeks. Thompson-Robinson figures to continue starting for the Browns in a road tilt against Baltimore next Sunday.
Thompson-Robinson (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Friday that Thompson-Robinson will start, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Thompson-Robinson will make a second consecutive start after throwing for 157 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Cleveland's 24-6 Week 16 loss to the Bengals. That performance dropped his career TD:INT to 1:9, though at least Thompson-Robinson also contributed 49 rushing yards on nine carries against Cincinnati. Backup Jameis Winston is listed as questionable due to a shoulder injury.
Thompson-Robinson (calf) was a limited practice participant Thursday. For the second straight day, Thompson-Robinson went down as a limited participant on the Browns' practice report while he tends to a calf strain that he said he sustained on the second snap of his first start of the season in last Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. While the injury didn't hinder Thompson-Robinson much as a runner (nine carries for 49 yards), he mostly underwhelmed while directing the offense, leading the team to just one scoring drive while completing 20 of 34 pass attempts for 157 yards and two interceptions. Despite the second-year quarterback's poor outing, offensive coordinator reiterated earlier Thursday that Thompson-Robinson is on track to make a second straight start Sunday versus the Dolphins, per Cabot. For his part, Thompson-Robinson told Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal that he doesn't expect the calf issue to slow him down against the Dolphins, but it won't be clear until after Friday's practice whether or not he heads into the weekend with an injury designation.
Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey noted Thursday that the team is preparing as if Thompson-Robinson (calf) will start Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Thompson-Robinson was estimated as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, but at this stage he's trending toward a second straight start this weekend. Dorsey also noted the team still is in the process of determining whether Jameis Winston (shoulder) will be the No. 2 or No. 3 QB versus Miami, assuming Thompson-Robinson starts, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Thompson-Robinson (calf) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. The same applies to Jameis Winston (right shoulder), who was the Browns' emergency No. 3 quarterback for this past weekend's loss to the Bengals. The status of both signal-callers is thus worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Dolphins approaches.
