LOS ANGELES - The Cleveland Browns have elevated veteran Joe Flacco as their No. 2 quarterback behind injured starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson, potentially putting Flacco in line to start Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Thompson-Robinson remains in concussion protocol and sat out Wednesday's practice.

Flacco, the 2013 Super Bowl MVP while with the Baltimore Ravens, would be the fourth quarterback to the start for the Browns this season.

"Big, strong arm. Obviously, he can make every throw," Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said of the 38-year-old Flacco.
