Browns Injury Update: Winston and DTR's QB Roles
The Browns are facing a quarterback crisis! Deshaun Watson is out for the season, and now, their backup, Jacoby Brissett, is banged up too. The team's injury woes are testing their depth and raising questions about who will be under center in Week 12.
The QB Situation: A Headache for Browns Fans
With Brissett's status uncertain after a concussion in Week 11, the Browns are left scrambling. Joshua Dobbs, who was signed just last week, is now the backup. But the real intrigue is with the two young quarterbacks on the practice squad: Kellen Mond and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (DTR).
Mond, a 2021 third-round pick, has been in and out of the NFL, spending time with the Vikings and Browns. He has potential, but needs a lot of work. DTR is a rookie with a big arm and impressive athleticism. He's the wildcard in this situation, the one who could surprise everyone.
Will We See a QB Change?
It's too early to say who will start if Brissett can't go. Coach Kevin Stefanski hasn't made any announcements yet. But if the Browns need to rely on one of the practice squad QBs, it's likely to be Mond. He's got more experience in the NFL, even if it hasn't been much.
DTR is a long shot for now. He's a project, and the Browns might be hesitant to throw him into the fire. But if Brissett is out for a long time, and Mond doesn't show much, we could see DTR get his chance.
The Browns Need to Stay Competitive
No matter who's at quarterback, the Browns need to keep winning. They're still in the playoff hunt, and they can't afford to drop any more games. This is a tough situation, but it's one that the Browns have to overcome.
This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on. The Browns have a lot of questions to answer about their quarterback future. And the answers could have a huge impact on their season.
