Joe Flacco was obvious QB1 pick, but plenty still needs to be settled in Browns' QB room

There were attempts to manufacture some drama over the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback decision, but it was the exact outcome we've all known for months. Joe Flacco is the starter. No surprise at all. Thankfully, there's still plenty of actual drama to be sorted out in the Browns' quarterback room. Flacco will start in Week 1 but one look at an absolutely brutal six-game stretch to start the season indicates that it might not be a long-term solution. Cleveland is very likely to use more than one quarterback this season. But due to injuries and an odd four-man derby at quarterback, which was created when the team made the unconventional decision to draft two quarterbacks in the middle rounds, it's uncertain what the order will be behind Flacco. And there's just one more preseason game to go. Joe Flacco expected to play Saturday The Browns have indicated they plan to play Flacco some in the preseason finale. Stefanski wants to use this week to simulate a regular-season week, and to do that he wanted his quarterback in place. Not that anyone paying attention thought it would be anyone but Flacco. So Flacco will play some, but presumably not too much. That means there will be some evaluation time for Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, though that's complicated too. Pickett hasn't played yet in the preseason due to a hamstring injury, but he did practice last week and presumably will be ready to play by Saturday. Sanders' status is unknown after he suffered an oblique injury in warmups before a joint practice last Wednesday. Gabriel, who missed the first preseason game, got the start with Sanders sitting last week. So Flacco hasn't played yet because he was the veteran starter who didn't need preseason reps in the first two games, Pickett hasn't played at all due to injury, Gabriel missed one game and Sanders missed one game. That makes the final decisions on the depth chart a little more challenging. Who will be Browns' backup? From all accounts, the depth chart at Browns camp has been fairly static. Flacco has been treated as the starter. Pickett has missed a lot of camp but there's no indication he's not second in line. Gabriel has been third and, even after a very good showing in Cleveland's first preseason game, Sanders has been fourth. That doesn't mean that is Stefanski's final answer on the depth chart. Gabriel played well last week aside from one pick-6, showing a good understanding of the offense and delivering passes accurately. Sanders' talent level was well above his status as a fifth-round pick, and he showed it in his one preseason game. The Browns will first need to decide how many quarterbacks to keep. It's very rare for a team to keep four, but it's an unusual situation. It doesn't seem likely a team would trade for Pickett, Flacco is already named the starter and trading Gabriel or Sanders a few months after trading them seems unlikely. Then, if the Browns do keep four, Stefanski has to order them. If Flacco gets benched, that's when the order will matter. And if Pickett is up next, the order between Gabriel and Sanders will matter if he gets benched later in the season. Perhaps some of that gets settled in Saturday's preseason finale. We know Flacco will be the Browns' starter to begin the season. The rest still seems unsettled.

Hollywood Brown returns to practice

Wide receiver Hollywood Brown missed an extended period of time this summer with an injury to his ankle and foot, but the Chiefs have him back on the field. Head coach Andy Reid said at a Monday press conference that Brown did some work in practice on Sunday and that the plan is for him to continue working on Monday. The Chiefs plan to play their starters in their final preseason game and Reid said that there's been no decision about whether Brown could be among them. "We'll see how he progresses through this thing," Reid said, via Nate Taylor of not a matter of want. He wants to do it. He's taking it slow and we don't want any setbacks." Brown was limited to five games last season, so it's easy to understand why the Chiefs want to avoid further absences. Given the uncertainty about how long Rashee Rice will be available, it's all the more important for Brown to be on the field this fall.

Xabi Alonso speaks out on Rodrygo's Real Madrid future

Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has early this week provided a fresh update on the future of Blancos star Rodrygo. Frontman Rodrygo has of course seen his name reemerge as an altogether prominent one in the headlines in Spain's capital over recent days. This comes amid the understanding that Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are giving serious consideration to a move for the Brazilian international. City are just the latest of a whole host of clubs to have been credited with an interest in Rodrygo across the summer to date. As much comes in no small part owing to the struggles of the 24-year-old to secure game time at the Club World Cup under the watch of new manager Xabi Alonso. Speaking to the media in his first press conference of the La Liga season on Monday, it therefore came as little surprise when Rodrygo's place in his plans was put to Alonso himself. And the Spanish tactician went on to explain: 'There are many rumors in the summer, but I've seen him well and I count on everyone. I count on Rodrygo for sure, 100%'. Conor Laird – GSFN
