Overview

  • Kevin Stefanski has named Joe Flacco the Week 1 starter, ending the starting competition before today's preseason finale.
  • Rookie Shedeur Sanders returns from an oblique injury and is expected to see action against the Rams after missing the second preseason game.
  • The Browns have left open the possibility of carrying four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, a move some analysts warn could dilute practice reps.
  • Kenny Pickett remains limited by a hamstring, and coaches have favored Dillon Gabriel as the primary backup, with Gabriel expected to play before Sanders.
  • Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET in Cleveland on NFL Network, the last on-field evaluation window before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET roster cutdown deadline.
