Pickett was selected in the first round of the 2022 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Over two seasons as the team\u2019s starting quarterback, he compiled a 14-10 record, throwing for 4,474 yards with 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>In his most recent season, Pickett served as the backup to Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia. When called upon late in the year, he completed 25 of 42 passes for 291 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in limited action.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns have explored veteran options at quarterback, notably Russell Wilson. He visited the Browns before signing with the New York Giants. Cleveland will almost certainly select a quarterback in the draft with the No. 2 pick or later rounds.<\/p>\n<p>But Pickett will be in the mix, per general manager Andrew Berry, who said Pickett has a \u201cpretty credible path to get better.\u201d Berry added that Pickett will \u201chave a chance to compete for the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Browns QB Kenny Pickett: I View Myself as Starter<\/h2>\n<p>Berry\u2019s statement jives with what Pickett told reporters during his introductory press conference. He said he was told he would be given the chance to be the starter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do view myself as a starter. I\u2019m sure they\u2019re going to bring in another veteran and who knows what else, but, I\u2019m just excited to be here and compete with whoever,\u201d Pickett said. \u201cAll the quarterback rooms I\u2019ve been in, each room has been really tight. We all pull for each other and, that\u2019s really what it\u2019s all about, getting better together and making the team better. Definitely prepared for whatever situation that may present itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com thinks the team is \u201ccomfortable\u201d with Pickett being paired with a young QB.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey seem comfortable pairing Pickett with whichever rookie they draft \u2014 Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, Tyler Shough or someone else \u2014 and letting them compete for the starting job in camp,\u201d Cabot said recently. \u201cIf the rookie is ready from Day 1, he\u2019ll get the nod, but they\u2019re prepared and excited to roll with Pickett if that\u2019s how it plays out in the early going.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Browns Expect QB Room to \u2018Skew Young\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Pickett is only 26 years old, much younger than some veterans who have been floated as options for the Browns. That includes Joe Flacco (40), Kirk Cousins (36), and Carson Wentz (32). Berry said he expects the quarterback room to \u201cskew young,\u201d which could be a hint at the direction the Browns are looking to take.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland will also have Deshaun Watson around the facility. However, the team\u2019s $230 million quarterback is expected to miss most of the season after re-injuring his Achilles during rehab. Even when healthy, Watson is unlikely to play into the starting quarterback conversation.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns are not shy about stockpiling talent for their offseason program and training camp. Cleveland entered last year with Watson, Thompson-Robinson, Tyler Huntley and Jameis Winston on the roster.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"entry-title\">Andrew Berry Reveals Injury Update On Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19299\" src=\"https:\/\/breakingnews.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jeremiah-Owusu-Koramoah-2-768x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breakingnews.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jeremiah-Owusu-Koramoah-2-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/breakingnews.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jeremiah-Owusu-Koramoah-2-768x512-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(Photo by Jason Miller\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>The Cleveland Browns fanbase continues waiting anxiously for updates on linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah\u2019s recovery status.<\/p>\n<p>The standout defender\u2019s promising 2024 campaign came to an abrupt halt after suffering a serious neck injury during the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, resulting in hospitalization.<\/p>\n<p>In the months since, he\u2019s undergone extensive medical evaluations and treatment protocols, though specific details about his potential return timeline remain elusive.<\/p>\n<p>General Manager Andrew Berry recently addressed the situation on Sunday, offering some insight while acknowledging significant uncertainty still surrounds the linebacker\u2019s recovery timeline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is progressing, which is a positive.
