Joe Flacco made his debut as the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns against the Los Angeles Rams. He led the team to a 24-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive, completing 4 of 5 passes for 65 yards. However, the Browns lost the game 36-19. Amari Cooper, the Browns' wide receiver, was evaluated for a head injury during the game and was later ruled out with a concussion. Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the rookie quarterback, remained in the concussion protocol, and the team was uncertain about naming the starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite the uncertainty, Joe Flacco was expected to start, as he was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the game against the Jaguars. Additionally, Amari Cooper cleared the concussion protocol and was set to play against the Jaguars.
