Tue Dec 10 00:40:00 UTC 2024: **Browns Stick with Winston Despite Playoff Elimination**

CLEVELAND, OH – Despite being officially eliminated from playoff contention following Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns will not be making a change at quarterback. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Monday that Jameis Winston will remain the starting quarterback for next Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Stefanski emphasized the team’s focus on improvement, stating that the priority is to “do everything we can to play better” and put the players in the best position to win. While second-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson represents a potential future option, Stefanski dismissed any immediate plans to give him playing time, stating his focus is solely on the upcoming game against the Chiefs.

The Browns also face injury concerns heading into Week 15. Linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will remain sidelined with a neck injury, and cornerback Greg Newsome will miss time due to a hamstring injury. Receiver Cedrick Tillman remains in concussion protocol, while defensive tackle Mike Hall may be able to begin practicing after becoming eligible to return from injured reserve.
