Browns lose 3 offensive tackles in 27-12 loss to Vikings in 2nd preseason game; Mike Hall Jr. plays, both QBs throw picksCLEVELAND, Ohio -- It was a game in which Browns second-year quarterback Dorian Thompson had a chance to clinch the No. 3 quarterback job, but his performance, and everyone else’s, was overshadowed by the loss of three offensive tackles.
They lost James Hudson III , Hakeem Adeniji and Germain Ifedi , and will have to work the phones on Sunday to come up with some replacements. On the opening drive of the second half, Tyler Huntley was picked off by cornerback Dwight McGlothern, who rumbled 91 yards up the left sideline before Adeniji shoved him out of bounds and Huntley finished the job.
Watson has been trying to overcome the protection issues in practice so he can operate efficiently, but it’s been difficult.Thompson-Robinson, who started the game and played five series in the first half, went 13 of 17 for 126 yards with no touchdowns and one interception en route to a 72.2 rating. On his fourth drive, he was pressured into a third-down incompletion to Thrash, and went three and out, and then he was picked off on the deflected ball on his fifth series, after big passes of 27 yards to Foreman and 17 to Ricci.
