The more experienced <b>Joe Flacco <\/b>and <b>Kenny Pickett<\/b> are thought to be in contention to begin as starter, but they could soon be replaced by either <b>Dillon Gabriel<\/b> or <b>Shedeur Sanders<\/b>, both entering their rookie seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sanders was only taken in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft but he has impressed at training camp. There has even been some suggestion that he has played himself into contention in the eyes of Cleveland\u2019s coaches but an injury setback back harm his progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On Saturday <b>Shedeur Sanders did not participate in team drills due to arm soreness<\/b>. He has taken only a few first team reps so far at Browns practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He did take part in some \u201cpost-practice sprints with wide receiver\u201d but did not throw. The Browns have Sunday off and it remains to be seen what part Sanders will play in Monday\u2019s session.<\/p>\n<p data-oembed-type=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders joins the show | Browns Training Camp Insider\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WzvNs3naqj8?feature=oembed\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The injury is not expected to be a major one for Sanders and he looks set to return in the near future. But it came at a point when he needs to be earning more reps with the first team if he wants to move himself up the Cleveland pecking order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It is a valuable opportunity missed for <b>Sanders, who could have taken more reps in place of the injured Kenny Pickett<\/b>. The 27-year-old Pickett is expected to contend for the starter\u2019s jersey to begin the 2025 season but he is currently a limited participant in team sessions due to a <b>hamstring injury<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cObviously disappointed that he\u2019s not full go, but he\u2019s very much involved in everything we\u2019re doing,\u201d Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said. \u201cHe\u2019s a player that has had a good amount of NFL game exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cHe\u2019s had a lot of reps going back through the spring and what we\u2019ve gotten accomplished so far through training camp. You don\u2019t want anybody to be missing action due to any injury, but he has done a nice job of staying very much engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n<section role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"a_rel_t\">\n<header><\/header>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland Browns are yet to confirm a starting QB but Sanders, a fifth round draft pick, is in contention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29529,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
