Overview

  • The Browns plan to start rookie Shedeur Sanders against the Panthers after hamstring setbacks sidelined Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel for Friday’s preseason opener.
  • Rookie Tyler Loop has secured the Ravens’ kicking job by drilling all 12 attempts—including from 56 and 60 yards—during a live-pad practice at M&T Bank Stadium.
  • A poll of 21 Baltimore reporters identified wide receiver Devontez Walker and running back Keaton Mitchell as the Ravens’ biggest stock risers through joint drills and stadium practices.
  • In New England, undrafted receivers Javon Baker and Ja’Lynn Polk have forced their way into the rotation as Kendrick Bourne’s ankle injury threatens his depth-chart standing.
  • At Denver’s camp, second-year cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine boosted his stock with an impressive pass breakup while inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw remained limited by a quadriceps issue.
