Browns staying with Jameis Winston as QB1 despite no playoffs

The Cleveland Browns have no mathematical chance to make the playoffs, but their focus remains on winning games rather than evaluating talent on the bench, according to coach Kevin Stefanski. The Browns will keep Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback this week when they host the Kansas City Chiefs, Stefanski said Monday. With Deshaun Watson lost for the season due to a ruptured right Achilles tendon, the alternative to Winston would be to start 2023 fifth-round draft pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who made three starts during his rookie campaign. "Our focus right now is just trying to find ways to get a win," Stefanski said, throwing cold water on the idea that the Browns might give Thompson-Robinson late-season game reps.
