Shedeur Sanders to get the start in Browns preseason opener
The Cleveland Browns continue to spin the quarterback carousel throughout training camp, and the spinning wheel has stopped on Shedeur Sanders as the starting quarterback for Cleveland's first preseason game. The Browns announced that Sanders, the team's fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, will get the start against the Carolina Panthers. Cleveland's first preseason game comes Friday night in Charlotte, and Sanders will be under center, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Injuries within the Browns crowded quarterback room helped make the decision to start Sanders an easier one. Veteran Kenny Pickett and third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel are both sidelined with hamstring injuries, leaving just Sanders and presumptive starter Joe Flacco. To that end, the Browns signed veteran Tyler Huntley to serve as Sanders' relief in the game, as Flacco is not expected to suit up as a 40-year-old vet. Sanders has not taken any first-team snaps through Tuesday's practice session, but he'll get the starting nod after a joint practice session with the Panthers.

Shedeur Sanders expected to start for Browns in Week 1 preseason game
Cleveland Browns fans will get their first look at 2025 fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders in live game action, projected to start at quarterback in the team's Week 1 preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, Mary Kay Cabot reported Tuesday. Sanders finds himself in line for the start amidst injuries to fellow rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Kenny Pickett, who's heading into his fourth NFL season. Veteran Joe Flacco was recently listed as the team's intended starter for the 2025 season on the Browns' initial depth chart, with Pickett listed as the backup, followed by Gabriel at No. 3 and Sanders last on the depth chart at No. 4. The Browns' quarterback saga was one of the most-discussed stories of the offseason as Flacco, Pickett, Gabriel and Sanders all competed for the starting spot left by DeShaun Watson, who is expected to miss the season due to an Achilles injury. Although Sanders did not get many reps with the first team during camp, he stayed positive throughout the process. The former Colorado signal caller noted how the lack of repetitions did not affect his work ethic. "That's not my place to answer," Sanders told reporters Friday, via ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. "I feel like it's not in my control, so I'm not even gonna think about that or have that even in my thought process." "There's a lot of people that wanna have the opportunity to be at this level, and I'm here, and I'm thankful to have the opportunity, so, whatever that is it is," Sanders added. "It doesn't really faze me. You gotta understand, we came all the way from an HBCU to a Power 5 [conference team], and now we here, so," he continued. "At this point, you look around, there's nothing that's a challenge, I would say." Sanders also had an impressive showing in Day 4 of camp, throwing three touchdowns during the workout, including this one to fellow rookie Luke Floriea. Cleveland will play three preseason games, starting with a game with the Panthers, with matchups against the Philadelphia Eagles and the LA Rams scheduled for mid and late August to follow. They will begin their regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals at home on September 7.

New study showcases where home prices dropping the most
The housing market has been in a serious crunch since the COVID-19 pandemic, with limited inventory, elevated home prices and mortgages in the 7% range, continuing to keep many would-be home buyers locked out. But even amid such tight constraints, modest declines in home prices can still be found in some regions of the country. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Personalized rates in minutes Your Path to Homeownership A quicker path to financial freedom That's according to a new report from which finds that median home prices across the 50 largest metro areas in the country have declined slightly in July 2025, compared with three years ago. Median home prices hit a peak of $443,000 in July 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Saint Louis. The extent to which home prices are declining varies from region to region according to the report, which is based on the brokerage platform's housing data. "The housing market has cooled modestly in 2025," Danielle Hale, chief economist at said in a statement on the report. "But the extent and persistence of rebalancing really varies across the country. And regionally, homebuyers and sellers are likely to experience a very different market." Behind those notable price differences is inventory. Right now, the housing market is essentially divided into two camps, with higher inventory in the South and West, where deeper price cuts can be found, and more limited inventory in the Midwest and Northeast, where price changes "remain relatively tight," according to the report. "It's a supply and demand story," Jake Krimmel, senior economist at and author of the July 2025 report, told CBS MoneyWatch. "When you have fewer homes for sale, and if there is still sufficient demand, that's going to maybe put upward pressure on prices or prevent them from falling." Cities where prices are falling The largest declines in median listing prices in 2025 tend to be concentrated in the South and West, where all 19 of the 50 largest U.S. metro areas with median housing prices below July 2022 levels are located. "After years of intense competition, it's starting to feel more balanced — especially in the South and West," Gary Ashton, founder of The Ashton Real Estate Group of RE/MAX Advantage said in a statement on the report. "It's not a buyer's market yet, but we're headed in that direction." The cities that saw the biggest declines in price were Austin, where median listing prices have fallen nearly 15% over the last three years; and Miami, where prices have dropped around 19%. According to Krimmel, inventory is rising in these markets due to the fact that homes are staying on the market longer, more home sellers are reducing prices and new listings are climbing. A boom in building also boosted housing supply in those regions during the COVID-19 pandemic, when demand for markets like Austin, Denver and Florida exploded, he added. Austin, Los Angeles and Miami saw the largest declines in median listing price over the past year, although prices in Los Angeles remain more than 18% above the median listing price in 2022. Cities where prices are rising Housing markets in cities in Northeast and Midwest remain squeezed, according to Krimmel, due to "sticky high" prices, and tight inventory, said Krimmel. Other contributing factors include stricter zoning and land use regulation laws that making building new houses more difficult, he said. In New York, for example, median listing prices have climbed roughly 16% since 2022, according to the report. Median listing prices in Milwaukee increased 26%. Furthermore, the number of active listings per month in the Northeast is still 50% below pre-pandemic levels, according to Krimmel. The number of active listings in the Midwest is down 40%, pointing to an inventory shortage in both regions, he said. While median listing prices have gone down over the last year in northeastern cities like Boston and Philadelphia, which saw 1.4% and 1.2% decreases, respectively, median prices remain at least 10% above those from 2022. "To the extent that there are falling prices in the Northeast and the Midwest, for the most part it's pretty modest numbers," said Krimmel.
