Cleveland Browns have signed QB Joe Flacco to the practice squad. To make room on the roster, the team released WR Trinity Benson from the practice squad.
Flacco (6-6, 245) is in his 16th NFL season out of Delaware. Originally a first-round pick by Baltimore in 2008, Flacco has appeared in 183 games with 180 starts in stints with the Ravens (2008-18), Broncos (2019) and Jets (2020-22). He has completed 3,881 of 6,299 career passes (61.6 percent) with 232 touchdowns and 147 interceptions. He has compiled a 99-81 (.550) record as a starter. Flacco led the Ravens to a victory in Super Bowl XLVII, while being named the Super Bowl MVP. Most recently, he started four games with the Jets in 2022.
Denver Broncos and New York Jets, worked out for the Browns on Friday and then signed to Cleveland's practice squad at some point after the victory, the team announced Monday.
Even so, Thompson-Robinson will start Week 12 against the Denver Broncos, per head coach Kevin Stefanski. 
"Joe's role is to support this team, coming in here. We're able to add a guy with a ton of experience, he'll be great for that room, he'll be great for this team," Stefanski said.
Thompson-Robinson looked better in his second start, and the fifth-round draft pick completed four straight passes on Cleveland’s final drive to set up a game-winning field goal.
But with Flacco on board, the Browns could make another QB switch. They’ve already used three starting quarterbacks: Watson, Thompson-Robinson and P.J. Walker, who made two starts and came off the bench in a third game.
Kevin Stefanski shifting to Flacco, who still has a big arm along with 15 years of NFL experience.
In a perfect world, Flacco does nothing but hold a clipboard and offer some sound advice for the rookie quarterback. However, if he's asked to step in at any point, he's not going to back down no matter what the situation is. That's why he was added to a team with postseason hopes.
