Overview

  • Tyler Huntley was released Sunday, with reporting indicating the Browns intend to keep Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders on the 53-man roster.
  • Joe Flacco is locked in as the Week 1 starter, Kenny Pickett is expected to be available, and Deshaun Watson remains on the PUP list recovering from an Achilles injury.
  • GM Andrew Berry described retaining four quarterbacks as a developmental opportunity and not a difficult decision for the front office.
  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski pushed back on outside claims he is undermining Sanders, saying he is committed to the rookie’s development.
  • Sanders struggled in the preseason finale (3-of-6, 14 yards, five sacks) and was replaced for the final two-minute drive, a choice questioned by former QB Derek Carr; Sanders later posted that he will keep learning and improving.
