Injured Houston Texans QB Tyrod Taylor yields starting role to rookie, again

CLEVELAND -- As Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor prepared for his return to Cleveland, he insisted -- at least publicly -- this game wasn’t about him.

Yes, Taylor was returning to the field he exited with a concussion as the Browns starting quarterback in Week 3 of the 2018 season. He never got his job back after that year’s No. 1 overall pick, Baker Mayfield, took over.

Taylor acknowledged Sunday’s game would be an opportunity to showcase how he’s “progressed as a player,” but didn't want it to be the focus.
