Cut by Philadelphia The Eagles waived Thompson-Robinson on Sunday.

Impact Thompson-Robinson was acquired by the Eagles in March, and he entered training camp competing against Tanner McKee (finger) and rookie sixth-rounder Kyle McCord for the QB2 job behind Jalen Hurts. Thompson-Robinson didn't get much run across two preseason games, completing 10 of 16 passes for 73 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception while rushing for zero yards on two carries. He may have been a candidate to stick around on the practice squad up until the Eagles' acquisition of Sam Howell from the Vikings on Sunday. Assuming he clears waivers, Thompson-Robinson will look to catch on with a team in need of a quarterback, though the 2023 fifth-rounder is more likely to land on a team's practice squad rather than a 53-man roster heading into the 2025 regular season.

AUGUST 23 • Associated Press

Unimpressive in Saturday's start Thompson-Robinson completed five of eight passes for 17 yards and an interception in Saturday's 22-13 preseason loss to the Browns.

Impact Facing the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft, Thompson-Robinson got the start but split drives with 2025 sixth-round pick Kyle McCord as the game progressed. Neither quarterback was able to get much going -- the Eagles had only 88 yards of total offense on the afternoon, and their only touchdown came on a pick-six by rookie safety Andrew Mukuba. DTR isn't going to unseat Jalen Hurts or Tanner McKee at the top of the depth chart, and his hold on the No. 3 spot could be tenuous if Philly views McCord as the better developmental project.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Saturday Thompson-Robinson is expected to start Saturday's preseason game against the Browns, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thompson-Robinson is in line to draw his first start of the preseason with Jalen Hurts getting another rest day, and No. 2 quarterback Tanner McKee also in line to watch from the sidelines after his impressive performance in the exhibition opener against Cincinnati, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Rookie sixth-round pick Kyle McCord will be available to enter in relief of Thompson-Robinson, with both signal-callers possibly getting a chance to play a half. Thompson-Robinson appears the favorite for the No. 3 quarterback spot behind Hurts and McKee after the Eagles acquired him and a 2025 fifth-round pick in a trade with the Browns earlier this offseason, sending Kenny Pickett (hamstring) in exchange.

MARCH 10 • Associated Press

Dealt to Philly Thompson-Robinson and a 2025 fifth-round pick were traded to the Eagles on Monday in exchange for Kenny Pickett, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact The 2023 fifth-round pick appeared in 15 games (five starts) for the Browns over the past two seasons, completing 121 of his 230 pass attempts for 880 yards, one touchdown and 10 interceptions. Additionally, Thompson-Robinson rushed for 187 yards on 35 attempts. The 25-year-old now gets a fresh start in Philadelphia, where he's expected to sit behind Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee, serving as the team's No. 3 quarterback.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Gets one drive in finale Thompson-Robinson completed two of three passes for 13 yards and rushed twice for three yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 18.

Impact Thompson-Robinson entered for Cleveland's third drive of the game after starter Bailey Zappe threw a pick-six on the second possession. That was it for DTR, who had started and played all of the Browns two previous games. Cleveland's quarterback situation heading into the offseason is a mess, and it's safe to assume Thompson-Robinson will not be part of the solution in 2025. He completed 52 percent (61-of-118) of passes and threw six interceptions over seven games in 2024.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Saturday Bailey Zappe is slated to start Saturday's season finale against the Ravens rather than Thompson-Robinson (calf), Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact That said, Cabot notes that Thompson-Robinson, who went 0-2 while starting the Browns' previous two games, is also expected to get some playing time versus Baltimore, based on head coach Kevin Stefanski's previous comments this week. Thompson-Robinson had been managing a calf issue, but he wasn't among the Cleveland players given a Week 18 game designation, per Cabot.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited Thompson-Robinson (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Thompson-Robinson played through the same calf injury during Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami, completing 24 of 47 passes for 170 yards and an interception while running four times for 10 yards (and losing a fumble). Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said he's unsure about his Week 18 starter and may use both Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe under center.

Limited to start Week 18 Thompson-Robinson (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Thompson-Robinson suffered the calf injury in the Browns' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, but after opening Week 17 prep with a pair of limited practices, he upgraded to full participation Friday before heading into last Sunday's game against the Dolphins without a designation. While making a second straight start in Cleveland's 20-3 loss to Miami, Thompson-Robinson struggled to move the offense, completing just 24 of 47 passes for 170 yards, no touchdowns and one interception to go with 10 yards and a lost fumble on four carries. The calf issue shouldn't prevent Thompson-Robinson from being available Saturday in Baltimore, though head coach Kevin Stefanski said earlier Tuesday that he could use both Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe during the season finale, per Cabot.

Struggles against Dolphins Thomson-Robinson completed 24 of 47 pass attempts for 170 yards and one interception while rushing four times for 10 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami.

Impact Thompson-Robinson continued to struggle in his second consecutive start for Cleveland after committing two turnovers with no touchdowns accounted for in just as many games. The 3-13 Browns have been starting DTR in what can't be explained as a tanking strategy, but certainly feels like one when a healthy Jameis Winston continues to operate as a healthy scratch. Thompson-Robinson figures to continue starting for the Browns in a road tilt against Baltimore next Sunday.

Impact Thompson-Robinson will make a second consecutive start after throwing for 157 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Cleveland's 24-6 Week 16 loss to the Bengals. That performance dropped DTR's career TD:INT to 1:9, though at least Thompson-Robinson also contributed 49 rushing yards on nine carries against Cincinnati. Backup Jameis Winston is listed as questionable due to a shoulder injury.
