Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson Drops Telling 3-Word Message
dorian Thompson-Robinson is still on the mend from a concussion but the Cleveland Browns quarterback is staying patient.
The rookie quarterback suffered a concussion against the Denver Broncos on November 26 and has been in the protocol since. Thompson-Robinson has been fairly quiet in his time away from the field but dropped a telling Instagram post on Wednesday, December 6.
“In due time,” Thompson-Robinson posted, along with various photos of him on and off the field.
Thompson-Robinson practiced for the first time on Wednesday in a limited capacity. He’s still in concussion protocol getting on the field was a good step in the right direction.
The Browns have yet to name a starter and it would appear that Thompson-Robinson is at least under consideration.
“I think we got to see how it goes. I think that’s what’s important in this situation,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said on Wednesday, December 4. “Dorian obviously hasn’t cleared just yet, but he’s going to practice, so I want to see how it looks.”
Browns Happy With Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s Growth
Thompson-Robinson’s NFL debut didn’t go as planned earlier this season. The rookie drew a short-notice start against the Baltimore Ravens on October 1 and tossed three interceptions in a 28-3 loss.
The Browns decided to go back to him after Deshaun Watson was ruled out for the year due to a broken bone in his shoulder on November 15. In all, Thompson-Robinson has passed for 429 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions this season.
It’s not the prettiest stat line but Stefanski has been satisfied with the fifth-round pick’s growth.
“I think Dorian continues to get better. We’ve talked about him, Just think back to preseason, got better throughout the preseason,” Stefanski said. “I think he has gotten better throughout this season. I think we’ve all seen his skill set, know what type of player he is, but I think he’s working very hard to continue to improve as this season wears on.”
