Overview

• Kenny Pickett tweaked his hamstring late in camp and faces an open-ended recovery with no return timetable from coach Kevin Stefanski.
• Stefanski confirmed that Flacco will receive the bulk of first-team offensive reps in Pickett’s absence.
• Rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders have seen increased live-action reps, giving both a chance to make their case for Week 1.
• Sanders went a perfect 9-for-9 with two touchdown passes in the Browns’ first padded practice, while Gabriel has shown improved accuracy.
• Stefanski intends to name Cleveland’s Week 1 starter after upcoming joint practices and preseason games, aiming for a decision by training camp’s end.
