Pickett and Flacco are competing in a four-person quarterback battle on the Browns this offseason. So far, Pickett has popped up as the frontrunner, especially after quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave gave high praise to Pickett last week. So, this injury was pretty untimely for him.

It may also be worth noting that Flacco saw the same amount of reps as Sanders, while the team’s 94th overall draft pick, Dillon Gabriel, seemed to be the primary beneficiary of Pickett’s absence by picking up those few extra reps.

Among the contenders are Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders. All four players are going to be given opportunities to earn playing time both before the season and throughout the year.
