Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski revealed to reporters on Monday morning that he is close to naming Cleveland's starting quarterback for the 2025 regular season. Browns fans will soon get clarity on how the franchise views the quarterback room with Joe Flacco, rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, Kenny Pickett, and an injured Deshaun Watson.
Sanders impressed in Cleveland's first preseason game, and the former Colorado Buffaloes star has already started to prove some of his doubters wrong. Was Sanders' performance enough to shake up the depth chart for Cleveland's coaching staff?
Kevin Stefanski To Name Cleveland's Starter Soon
According to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Stefanski said that he will decide when to announce the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback after the team travels to Philadelphia for a joint practice and preseason game with the Eagles on Saturday, Aug. 16.
Stefanski also revealed how Cleveland's coaching staff plans to divide up the reps between the joint practice and preseason game with Philadelphia. According to Stefanski, starters will take most of the reps during the joint practice while the backups are expected to play more during the actual preseason game.
Going into the Browns' first preseason game against Carolina on Friday night, Sanders was considered the fourth quarterback on the depth chart. Coupled with injuries to Gabriel and Pickett, Sanders played a majority of drives for Cleveland's offense while the rest of Cleveland's quarterback saw more reps in practice during the week.
Will the week before the matchup with Philadelphia look the same? Will either Gabriel or Pickett return in time to see the field against the Eagles?
