Overview

• Joe Flacco has emerged as the de facto Week 1 starter after staying fully healthy and absorbing the bulk of first-team reps this week.
• Kenny Pickett has been limited in team drills since suffering a hamstring strain late last week and remains on a day-to-day practice schedule.
• Dillon Gabriel was held out of Monday’s practice with hamstring tightness, while Shedeur Sanders missed team periods over the weekend due to arm soreness before returning to individual work.
• Shedeur Sanders leads camp in passing efficiency (49-of-70, 6 TDs, 0 INTs) but remains fourth on the depth chart and faces growing speculation of a potential trade.
• Head coach Kevin Stefanski plans to wait until after the preseason games to name a Week 1 starter as the Browns balance veteran stability with rookie upside.
