Bailey Zappe hasn’t played in an NFL game since last January, but he’s just one play away from seeing the field on Sunday.

The Browns will have an entirely new quarterback depth chart for their Week 15 matchup against the Bengals. According to Cleveland.com, Cleveland will start second-year pro player Dorian Thompson-Robinson in Cincinnati, where Zappe will serve as the backup signal-caller for the visitors. The former Patriots QB made the jump over veteran Jameis Winston, who is dealing with a shoulder injury.

It’s been an eventful few months for Zappe, who started behind center in New England’s final six games of the 2023 season. The Patriots waived the 25-year-old in late August and watched him join the Chiefs’ practice squad less than two weeks later. Zappe’s time in Kansas City was short-lived, however, as he was selected by Cleveland in late October after Deshaun Watson was sidelined with a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.

Zappe was the Browns’ emergency quarterback for four games before being released again on December 2nd. But a day after he went unclaimed, the 2022 fourth-round pick was re-signed to Cleveland’s active roster.

If Zappe plays against the Bengals, both of the Patriots’ 2023 starters would be eligible to play on the same day. Mac Jones is currently serving as QB1 for the Jacksonville Jaguars with Trevor Lawrence out.
