Shedeur Sanders Blocked Deion Sanders From Attending Browns Training Camp
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Shedeur Sanders is currently battling it out in the Cleveland Browns training camp as one of the four potential starting quarterbacks the team might use in the 2025 season. While Sanders has a shot at being the starter, its also a long shot. More news: Deion Sanders Lied to Sons About Cancer Diagnosis Simply put, the Browns quarterback situation is a bit messy right now, and Sanders is not getting many reps. Considering his usage and other factors, the young rookie chose to block his father, Deion Sanders, from attending training camp. Shedeur Sanders told Coach Prime not to visit him at Training Camp: 'I'm not where I want to be, let me get where I need to be.'💯💪🏾 — GUCCE🦬🐦⬛ (@gucceCU) July 28, 2025 Deion was speaking to Michael Irvin when he revealed that even though he got to visit Shilo Sanders at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp, Shedeur chose not to allow his father to see him practice. "Shedeur told me not to come," Sanders said. "He didn't want me to come. He was like, 'Dad, I may get three, four reps in practice. I don't want you seeing that. No, I'm not where I want to be. Let me get where I need to be.' It's so funny because this is his first time ever, and he's dealing with it like a pro. He ain't mad. He ain't bitter. He's like, I got work to do but I'm going to put in this work. One thing, they're going to have to let me play, preseason is going to come. When preseason comes, watch me work."

Photo byMore news: Dolphins Suffer Yet Another Brutal Injury to Their Secondary While it might sound like Shedeur doesn't want the outside noise that his father brings, he simply wants his father to allow him to get more practice time in, which is commendable. As stated, Shedeur is one of four quarterbacks on the Browns roster that is vying for starting time. Through multiple reports, the clear favorite is Joe Flacco. Kenny Pickett suffered an injury that could keep him out of training camp for weeks, and that leaves Shedeur and Dillon Gabriel battling it out for the second-string spot. To Shedeur's credit, preseason is a different ballgame. This is the time when teams get to evaluate their young talent, meaning Deion could see his son in a much bigger playing role during that time. Shedeur could very well win the starting job, but that will be up to him to make a major impression during preseason. It will take a lot, but he might be able to walk away with a bigger role come September. For more on the Browns and NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.

Sean Payton: Dre Greenlaw plays like Mike Tyson
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw made the most of the first day in pads at Broncos training camp. Greenlaw filled gaps and delivered hits throughout team drills in Denver and head coach Sean Payton said you didn't even have to be watching to know that Greenlaw was the one landing blows. Payton said "you can hear it" when Greenlaw makes a hit and then went on to compare his style to another knockout artist from a different sport. "He plays like Mike Tyson," Payton said, via the team's website. "He's tough, he's physical. He's built that way. There's not a lot of leaky yardage. Some guys [allow that]. He's a knock-back tackler. They stop where he hits them. There's an intensity to how he plays. He's one of those players that if you put the film on and didn't say anything, at some point early, you'd ask, 'Who is this guy?'" Greenlaw was limited to two games for the 49ers last year because of injuries and a quad injury interrupted his first offseason in Denver, so one key for the Broncos will be making sure Greenlaw's healthy enough to deploy that physicality on a regular basis. If he is, facing an already tough Broncos defense will be even less enjoyable for opposing offenses in 2025.

Recapping Day 5 of Chicago Bears training camp
The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall for their fifth practice of training camp on Monday morning, where there were still plenty of notable headlines and standouts. The Bears were in pads for the first time during training camp, which is when the real evaluation begins for roster spots and position battles. According to Brad Biggs, practice lasted roughly two hours in "sweltering humidity" where there was a "major emphasis on run game" with "some of the pass stuff was 1/2 speed or 2/3 speed, so not a lot to go off of." Let's recap Day 5 of Bears training camp: What we learned Rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III practiced for the first time during training camp on Monday. Burden missed the previous four non-padded practices with a lingering hamstring injury. But on the first day of pads, Burden was back and ready to go with his teammates. Burden was spotted participating during individual drills, but he wasn't on the field for team drills. That's not unexpected as he's ramping up (as expected) and should be full-go by the end of the week. Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland has only practiced in full for two days, but he's made headlines after both outings. Loveland was the standout of Monday's practice, where he shined during 7-on-7 with some nice catches. According to Patrick Finley, that included "leaping to catch a Caleb Williams pass over the middle." DJ Moore reminded everyone why he's still WR1 during Monday's practice. According to Zack Pearson, Moore won a rep against cornerback Tyrique Stevenson on a deep ball where he made a sliding catch from quarterback Caleb Williams during 1-on-1 drills. Moore's helmet even popped off during the reception. Alex Shapirorevealed that Moore got a look at running back during this padded practice, which "could be fun" in this Ben Johnson offense. With the Bears in pads for the first time this summer -- and Braxton Jones a full-go in practice -- the left tackle competition has officially kicked into high gear. Chicago rotated all three contenders -- rookie Ozzy Trapilo, Jones and Kiran Amegadjie -- with the starting offensive line during team drills on Monday morning. But according to Mark Carman, the left tackle battle is "going to last awhile" as there's "no clear standout" at this point. The offensive line "dominated the"looked pretty stout" against the defensive line during one-on-one drills, per Alex Shapiro. According to Clay Harbor, here's how it went down: "Darnell Wright won vs. Montez Sweat; Jonah Jackson won vs. Gervon Dexter Sr.; Drew Dalman won vs. (Andrew Billings); Joe Thuney won vs. Grady Jarrett and Kiran Amegadjie won vs. Dayo Odeyingbo." Another day, another JP Richardson mention during training camp practice. The undrafted rookie wide receiver has been one of the biggest standouts through the first five days of camp, and he continued his impressive showcase into padded practice. According to Zack Pearson, won two reps during 1-on-1 drills -- which was notable as defensive backs had the edge on the day. But he did drop one pass and another was overthrown to him deep. Per Alex Shapiro, Richardson has excelled "creating space," which was evident on Monday. Standouts TE Colston Loveland: Loveland has made a strong impression in his two full days of practice. The 10th overall pick was the standout of Monday's practice, where he shined during 7-on-7 with some nice catches. According to Patrick Finley, that included "leaping to catch a Caleb Williams pass over the middle." Loveland returned to full speed on Saturday after missing the entire offseason program recovering from shoulder surgery. But after just two days, he already looks like he hasn't missed a beat and could be a key contributor in Ben Johnson's offense. WR DJ Moore: While Rome Odunze has been the standout wide receiver so far in training camp, DJ Moore once again showed why he'll be a key playmaker in Ben Johnson's offense. According to Zack Pearson, Moore won a rep against cornerback Tyrique Stevenson on a deep ball where he made a sliding catch from quarterback Caleb Williams during 1-on-1 drills. Moore's helmet even came off during the catch. While there's no denying that Moore will serve a key role in the passing game, Alex Shapiro revealed that Moore got a look at running back during this padded practice, which "could be fun" with Johnson calling the shots on offense. DT Grady Jarrett: The Bears offensive line appeared to best the defensive line during one-on-one drills during Monday's practice, but veteran Grady Jarrett held his own -- and there were plenty of comments about his practice. Mark Carman said "Jarrett was a problem in one-on-one drills" while Alex Shapiro noted Jarrett "looks disruptive as ever." Clay Harbor added that Jarrett "still has juice plays with a motor" and "still has quicks and explosiveness." Following practice, center Drew Dalman wasn't sure Jarrett has any weaknesses and believes it's beneficial for any offensive lineman to go against him. Jarrett has been an impactful run defender and disruptive pass rusher with the Falcons, and it appears like he hasn't lost a step with the Bears. WR JP Richardson: This isn't the first time JP Richardson has landed on this list, and it certainly won't be the last. It appears like every other day the undrafted rookie wide receiver is making waves during training camp as he states his case for a roster spot, and he continued his impressive showcase once the pads came on. According to Zack Pearson, Richardson won two reps during 1-on-1 drills -- which was impressive considering defensive backs had the edge on the day. But he did drop one pass and another was a deep overthrow (not from Williams). According to Alex Shapiro, Richardson has excelled "creating space," which was evident on Monday. Injury updates While Luther Burden III made his return to practice, the Bears are still without rookie defensive tackle Shemar Turner (ankle), rookie cornerback Zah Frazier (personal) and offensive lineman Doug Kramer. But there was some reassuring news with Kramer, who suffered a leg injury near the end of Saturday's practice. While he didn't participate on Monday, he was dubbed "day-to-day." In Kramer's absence, rookie Luke Newman got the work with the backup offensive line at center. Meanwhile, newly-signed defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon was carted off with apparent hand/wrist injury. Also, offensive lineman Bill Murray came off the field limping with an apparent left knee injury, which is something to monitor. Highlights Press conferences What's next The Bears are back on the practice field on Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m. CT for their sixth practice of training camp. It marks the third open practice of the summer, where fans will be out in Halas Hall at full force.
