Are the Browns' early QB injuries already a problem?

Video Transcript
The Cleveland Browns, who went 3 and 14 in 2024, retained their staff while their staff stayed largely intact.
Tommy Reese is now the offensive coordinator.
They also have Jim Schwartz, still the defensive coordinator, who kind of had that usual Jim Schwartz year two drop-off that we usually see when he's the defensive coordinator.
Kevin Stefanski is still the head coach.
They have some quarterback interest.
So, let's start there.
The Cleveland Browns.
Charles, let's start with you.
I think you're right about this week.
What are you focusing on with the Cleveland Browns' offense this year?
Well, what am I focusing on with the offense here for the Cleveland Browns?
I want to see if all five quarterbacks play.
Let's get Tyler Huntley in there.
Let's roster five quarterbacks and have all of them play for me with this offense, though.
Yeah, the quarterbacks, that's how it shakes out.
I just want you to know the odds right now to beat week one starter Joe Flacco are -265.
That's a pretty heavy favorite there.
Kenny Pickett is plus 400, Dylan Gabriel, the third-round pick, plus 680, and Shater Sanders is plus 2500.
That's 25 to 1.
So he's starting Friday because they have not one but two quarterbacks with hamstring injuries in training camp.
I have never even seen one quarterback with a hamstring injury in training camp.
I mean, you rarely see that.
And they have two.
How much scrambling and bailing from the pocket have Kenny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel been doing during training camp?
I've been told Shaur has a sore shoulder.
They have four QBs; most NFL teams have three QBs on the roster, and then they have like a coach be the fourth guy, AKA that's why I was with the Raiders or, you know, somebody else just throwing those extra throws.
They have four guys, and they have had a guy with a sore shoulder and two guys with sore hamstrings.
I've never seen anything like that, so it's just like what are you, Cleveland?

Clarendon Hills is heading to the Little League World Series
The village of Clarendon Hills is celebrating after their Little League team won the Great Lakes Regional Final and is now on their way to the Little League World Series. Through every cheer and every tense moment of Wednesday night's game between Illinois and Ohio, Donna Mittlestadt watched at the Open Door Taproom and Bottle Shop with what felt like the rest of the Clarendon Hills community. "My son, one of my three sons played little league here in Clarendon Hills. And we have a little cousin who is on the team, Luka," she said. Family, friends, even the players' fifth grade teachers Julie Hafner and Lynn Marquardt came out to support the team in this make-or-break showdown. "Even getting to this championship game after losing to Ohio on Monday, I just want to show them who we are," Hafner said. Parents at the game in Indiana said the boys have put so much hard work to get to this point. They cannot thank their coaches and manager Brian Herold enough. "For the kids this is another game, for the coaches and parents this is nerve wracking," Herold said. Herold said his players have been facing teams who come from big cities with populations around 300,000. Clarendon Hills has a population of 9,000, so to find 12 talented young men has been a blessing, he said. "We knew we could end up in the championship game, so we preserved some of our pitchers. And it was a lopsided game, so I think based on the lopsided result they think they have us tonight," he said. And he was right. A bottom of the sixth strike out sealed the deal. Illinois beat Ohio 9 to 4. "Anytime something like this happens everyone in Clarendon Hills just rallies together," Hafner said. The Clarendon Hills team now heads to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of Little League baseball. They leave at 7 a.m., and this community will be right back here, cheering for them all the way. The Little League team in Elmhurst went to the World Series in 2023 but did not win. The team will spend 10 days practicing twice a day until they play.

NFLPA provides clarity on smelling salts in twist after league's ban
Smelling salts aren't going anywhere. After it was reported Tuesday that the NFL was banning salts ahead of the 2025-26 season, the NFL Players Association offered some additional clarification on the rule change, which will surely please the players. The ban was actually placed only on teams supplying the salts, but players will be allowed to use the salts if they provide them themselves. Advertisement 3 Rams defensive end Kobie Turner takes a sniff of smelling salt during a game against the Packers. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images 'We were not notified of this club policy change before the memo was sent out,' the NFLPA said in a message to players, according to an ESPN report on Wednesday. 'To clarify, this policy does not prohibit player use of these substances, but rather it restricts clubs from providing or supplying them in any form. The NFL has confirmed this to us.' 3 Smelling salts lay on the sidelines during a game between the Colts and Steelers, AP Advertisement The league's original memo in which it announced the new prohibition of ammonia, which the salts contain, noted that the NFL's head, neck and spine committee made the recommendation for the ban based on the FDA's warning in 2024 about the negative effects of ammonia inhalants. The FDA's warning included 'the potential to mask certain neurologic signs and symptoms, including some potential signs of concussion.' Smelling salts have long been used across numerous different sports as a stimulant for athletes, raising their awareness. 3 George Kittle expressed disappointment over the initial ban. AP Advertisement The clarification on the new rule saved many players from a world of disappointment. This includes 49ers tight end George Kittle, who crashed the set of NFL Network's 'Inside Training Camp' on Tuesday when he heard the original news. Advertisement 'I've been distraught all day,' Kittle said jokingly. 'I considered retirement. We've got to figure out a middle ground here, guys. Somebody help me out, somebody come up with a good idea. 'I miss those already.'
