Walker won't start Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, with the Browns instead turning to Dorian Thompson-Robinson after Deshaun Watson (shoulder) was ruled out for the season, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Thompson-Robinson drew a start when Watson missed time earlier this season due to a rotator cuff strain, but the Browns turned the offense over to Walker in the other full two games Watson missed after the rookie tossed three interceptions in a 28-3 loss to the Ravens in Week 4. Walker wasn't much better in the ensuing weeks, continuing the trend of frequent interceptions (five in three extended appearances) even as the Browns won twice under his direction of the offense. Walker offers mobility and arm strength but not much else, having thrown six touchdown passes and 16 picks on 326 career attempts (54.9 percent completion rate, 6.4 YPA). It's nonetheless possible he makes more starts before the end of the season, given that Thompson-Robinson looked unready for the NFL the last time he saw extended action.
