LOS ANGELES -- The Cleveland Browns will start their fourth different quarterback this season, as veteran passer Joe Flacco will take over Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.

Flacco, 38, replaces rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who sustained a concussion in last weekend's loss to the Denver Broncos and remains in the protocol. Cleveland officially ruled out Thompson-Robinson on Friday, clearing the way for Flacco to make the start.

The Browns were already without Deshaun Watson, who underwent season-ending right shoulder surgery last month.
