Joe Flacco Named Browns' QB2 Amid Dorian Thompson-Robinson's Concussion

Joe Flacco has been named the Cleveland Browns' backup quarterback, and he'll get the start Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams if starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson can't clear concussion protocol in time.

That's per Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, who relayed the news to reporters on Wednesday.

The Browns signed Flacco to their practice squad on Nov. 20, five days after Cleveland announced that starter Deshaun Watson would miss the remainder of the season due to a broken bone in his right (throwing) shoulder.
