This is a pivotal week for the Cleveland Browns, whose season is quickly fading. They are faced with the prospect of replacing quarterback Deshaun Watson with backup Jameis Winston after the former tore his Achilles tendon during the Browns’ 21-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday.

However, it appears that further offensive changes are imminent for Cleveland.

Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey will cancel future games, coach Kevin Stefanski announced Wednesday. Stefanski had previously handled that area himself.

“I have a lot of confidence in Ken and I have a lot of confidence in our offensive staff,” Stefanski said. “I feel like this is true: when you talk about playing good football and drawing up game plans, it is never the job of one person. It really is a joint effort. I have a lot of confidence in all our coaches. And Ken staging the plays doesn’t change that collaborative approach.”

This marks the first time since Cleveland hired him in 2020 that Stefanski has relinquished his playcalling duties. Dorsey, 43, was the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator from 2022 to 2023; he briefly quarterbacked the Browns in 2006 and 2008, throwing no touchdowns and seven interceptions in five games.

Cleveland plays 5-2 against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
