Overview

  • Owner Jimmy Haslam affirmed that GM Andrew Berry alone made the decision to draft Shedeur Sanders at No. 144 in April’s NFL Draft.
  • Kenny Pickett’s hamstring injury shifted first-team practice reps to Joe Flacco and rookie Dillon Gabriel.
  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski declined to specify where each quarterback stands on the depth chart and will announce his opener choice after camp.
  • Dillon Gabriel’s strong performances in practice have solidified his status ahead of Sanders, who remains the fourth-choice signal-caller.
  • Joe Flacco is absorbing the majority of first-team snaps, making it unlikely that Sanders will be in contention to start Week 1.
