Jameis Winston won’t be backing up new starting quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the Cleveland Browns at the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
The Browns (3-11) listed Winston on the inactive list as the emergency third quarterback. The quarterback was questionable on Friday’s injury report with a right shoulder injury after being a full participant in practice on Wednesday and limited the following two days.
Winston is 2-5 as Cleveland’s starter this season.
Bailey Zappe, who went 4-4 as a starter for the New England Patriots over the past two seasons, will back up Thompson-Robinson. Zappe hasn’t played in a game with the Browns.
Tight end David Njoku is active without an injury designation. He was listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury on Friday’s report.
Also out for the Browns on Sunday are wide receiver Cedric Tillman, cornerbacks Kahlef Hailassie and Chigozie Anusiem, and defensive linemen Shelby Harris and Cameron Thomas.
For the Bengals (6-8), standout defensive end Sam Hubbard is out Sunday due to a PCL injury that could end his season. Also inactive are quarterback Logan Woodside, wide receiver Charlie Jones, offensive lineman Orlando Brown Jr., tight end Tanner Hudson and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins.
