Kevin Stefanski has chosen his starter. And Shedeur Sanders is nowhere near that list. Instead, it’s the 39-year-old Joe Flacco—showing up like clockwork, making throws with ease, stacking reps like its Week 1 already. “He’s consolidated his position,” confirmed camp insiders.
Meanwhile, things are spiraling for the rest of the quarterback room. Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel are both sidelined with hamstring injuries, and Shedeur Sanders is battling a sore arm. That leaves Flacco as the only healthy and fully functioning QB in the mix—and he’s thriving. Knowing Stefanski’s playbook like the back of his hand, his reads, tempo, and timing have been flawless. Yet despite Flacco’s control, Stefanski knows it’s risky business walking into August with three QBs hurting.
So naturally, the Browns decided to bring in backup. As ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke it, “Browns are signing QB Tyler “Snoop” Huntley, who spent part of last season with Cleveland. With Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel nursing hamstring injuries, and Shedeur Sanders having a sore shoulder, the Browns need another arm. Enter Huntley.” That move makes one thing obvious—Cleveland’s not waiting around for recovery timelines.

And with that, Shedeur’s camp just got messier. According to Schefter, “On the Browns’ first depth chart of the season, they list their QBs in this order: 1. Joe Flacco, 2. Kenny Pickett, 3. Dillon Gabriel, 4. Shedeur Sanders.” Now with Huntley back in the fold, Sanders’ spot becomes even shakier. His climb up the chart just got a lot steeper.
