Overview

  • Kenny Pickett returned to practice on a limited basis Friday, though he will sit out team drills as he recovers from a late-July hamstring injury.
  • Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders continued to receive meaningful snaps in practice, underscoring the depth of the Browns’ quarterback room.
  • Evaluators could consider giving one of the rookie quarterbacks an opportunity to start midseason after assessing camp and early-season performance.
  • Cleveland retains two 2026 first-round picks, including Jacksonville’s, and is exploring potential trade targets such as Anthony Richardson and Trey Lance.
  • Defensive leaders Myles Garrett and Greg Newsome have reaffirmed their commitment to the Browns, bolstering leadership during the franchise rebuild.
