Jameis Winston will start at quarterback on Sunday against Baltimore for the freefalling Cleveland Browns, who lost Deshaun Watson last week with a season-ending Achilles tendon injury. Winston will be making his first start since 2022 when he was with New Orleans.

By Dianna Russini, Zac Jackson and Alex Andrejev The Cleveland Browns are planning to start quarterback Jameis Winston for Sunday’s matchup against the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens, a league source said Wednesday.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns (1-6) season was all but over even before quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with a ruptured achilles tendon against the Bengals (3-4). The injury kind of summed up the Browns season so far. They have yet to score 20 points in a game and can’t get out of their own way, committing too many penalties and turnovers.
