Overview

  • Coaching staff feedback suggests Joe Flacco holds the edge for Cleveland’s Week 1 starting quarterback job.
  • Shedeur Sanders has logged first-team 11-on-11 reps away from public view and delivered a 77.4 percent completion rate with nine touchdowns in team drills.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter said it would be an upset if neither Flacco nor Kenny Pickett opened the season as the Browns’ starter.
  • Peter Schrager speculated that Cleveland might trade one of its veteran quarterbacks before the season opener to trim the roster.
  • Sanders was cited for driving 101 mph in a 60 mph zone; the Browns do not plan to discipline him.
