Jameis Winston remains the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns coming off their bye week, coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Monday.
The Browns (2-7) return to action this Sunday against the host New Orleans Saints (3-7), the team that employed Winston for the four previous seasons.
Winston is 1-1 as the starter since the Browns lost Deshaun Watson to a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 7. He guided a 29-24 upset of the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 but threw three interceptions in a 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9.
Winston, 30, has completed 59 of 99 passes for 652 yards with five touchdowns and three picks in seven games (two starts) this season.
Drafted No. 1 overall by Tampa Bay in 2015, he has thrown for 22,756 yards, 146 TDs and 102 interceptions in 100 games (82 starts) for the Buccaneers (2015-19), Saints (2020-23) and Browns.
