Jameis Winston will start under center Sunday for the injury-plagued Cleveland Browns, sources confirmed to ESPN's Kimberley A. Martin. Winston has ascended to the starting role after Cleveland's top two quarterbacks -- Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson -- both suffered injuries in last Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Thompson-Robinson suffered an injury to the middle finger on his right throwing hand during Sunday’s 21-14 loss to the Bengals, and was unable to grip the ball thereafter. He underwent an MRI and second opinion this week to determine the extent of the injury, and it was determined that no surgery is necessary, a league source tells cleveland.com.
