The veteran will start for the Browns with Thompson-Robinson out.

The Cleveland Browns decided to give a chance to Joe Flacco and will start their 4th different QB this campaign, as the veteran quarterback will play on Sunday vs. the LA Rams.

The 38-year-old QB replaces rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who is out with a concussion he suffered in his organization’s defeat against the Denver Broncos last week and remains in protocol. The Browns officially ruled out Thompson-Robinson today, clearing the way for Joe to begin from the 1st minute on the field.

Cleveland can’t count on Deshaun Watson until the end of the season, as he underwent surgery on his right shoulder in November. PJ Walker has also started 2 matches this campaign and will be on the bench if something happens to Flacco.

The franchise can’t count on Pro Bowl CB Denzel Ward for the upcoming clash with the Rams as he is out with a shoulder problem. Myles Garrett will return.
