Browns Lose Another QB to Season-Ending Injury.

The Cleveland Browns placed quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson on injured reserve on Tuesday, ending his interesting rookie season prematurely.

Thompson-Robinson was placed on IR with a hip injury he suffered on Sunday, December 24 against the Houston Texans.

It’s been an up-and-down year for Thompson-Robinson, who was selected in the fifth round by the Browns. Cleveland traded away veteran backup Joshua Dobbs before Week 1 after a strong preseason from DTR. He was thrust into the backup role and saw some time as the starter when Deshaun Watson missed some time early in the season with a shoulder injury.

Thompson-Robinson was also named the starter after Watson was ruled out for the year with a separate shoulder injury. In all, Thompson-Robinson went 1-2 as the starter, completing 53.6% of his passes for 440 yards, 1 touchdown and 4 interceptions.

Joe Flacco is now the Browns’ starting quarterback and has played outstanding. However, Thompson-Robinson’s dual-threat ability was a nice curveball for the Browns to put on the field a few times a game. He also stepped in for two-point conversions.
