Browns' Taylor returns to practice after clearing concussion protocol

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor returned to practice Thursday after clearing the concussion protocol, according to Andrew Gribble of ClevelandBrowns.com.

Barring any setbacks, Taylor will serve as the backup to No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield when Cleveland takes on the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

Taylor suffered the concussion last weekend versus the New York Jets. He started the Browns' first three contests of the season, throwing for 462 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Mayfield took over against New York and led Cleveland to its first victory since 2016.
