The Cleveland Browns are signing quarterback Bailey Zappe off the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad, a league source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday, giving them depth after losing quarterback Deshaun Watson to a season-ending ruptured Achilles injury.

Zappe, 25, could back up Jameis Winston against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday with Dorian Thompson-Robinson's status for the game unclear. Thompson-Robinson, who entered the team's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after Watson's injury, injured a finger on his throwing hand late in Cleveland's 21-14 loss.
