Shedeur Sanders Injury: Why Are Browns Refusing to Let QB Participate In Training Camp?

1 min read

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was held out of team drills at training camp—citing what the team called shoulder soreness, according to Adam Schefter. While not considered a severe injury, the decision to withhold him suggests the Browns are proceeding with caution, possibly prioritizing long-term health over immediate reps. With veteran Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett (now nursing a hamstring injury) ahead of him on the depth chart, Sanders has yet to see consistent first-team action. His absence may limit opportunities to impress coaches before preseason evaluations begin.
