Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start at quarterback against the Dolphins as long as his calf is feeling well and it looks like he will be good to go on Sunday.
Thompson-Robinson said on Thursday, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, that he was feeling “tightness” in the calf, but that he has received extra treatment over the last few days. He said he “feels great” now and offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey also indicated earlier in the day that he’s on track to face Miami.
Thompson-Robinson made his first start of the season in last Sunday’s loss to the Bengals and went 20-of-34 for 157 yards and two interceptions. He also ran nine times for 49 yards and took five sacks.
Jameis Winston had been the Browns’ starter, but he was benched after Week 15 and he was inactive with a right shoulder injury last weekend. Bailey Zappe was the No. 2 quarterback against the Bengals.
