Kenny Pickett suffered a hamstring injury at the end of July, which hurt his chances of earning the Browns' starting quarterback role. That job was given to Joe Flacco this week, despite Pickett noting that he was still going to try to win the role even while injured. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski even said Pickett had a real good chance of earning the QB1 role before his injury.
Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski hasn't named the team's QB2 as Pickett is still dealing with that injury, and now Shedeur Sanders has an oblique strain. Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, the team's other rookie quarterback, have both competed in the Browns' preseason games, though; Pickett has not.
