Berea, OH (92.3 The Fan) – Tyrod Taylor returned to practice on Thursday – a sign he’s cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol.
Browns head coach Hue Jackson said earlier this week that if Taylor was cleared he would serve as Baker Mayfield’s backup Sunday at Oakland.
Taylor left last Thursday night’s win over the New York Jets with just under 3 minutes to play in the first half, but it is unclear exactly when Taylor suffered the concussion.
The Browns punted on all 6 of their offensive possessions before Mayfield took over.
Jackson announced on Monday that the No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 Draft would take over as the permanent starter after he led them back from a 14-0 deficit to a 21-17 victory.
