Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Receives New Major Injury Update
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Fresh off an impressive 138-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Cleveland Browns' 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers last weekend in their preseason opener, fans were likely excited to see what rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders planned to do for an encore in the second week of the preseason.
But as the team has been preparing to play the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field, Sanders suffered a small injury setback on Wednesday after it was announced he was expected to miss some time with an oblique injury he suffered in joint practices against the Eagles.
"If it's a right guard, you can play through that," Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said, via ESPN. "When it's a quarterback, you kind of need that muscle to throw. So, unfortunately, going to put him down for a little bit here. We'll treat it day-to-day and see how it responds. But [we] want to be smart because he's a thrower — you can't push that thing."

While no initial timetable was given on exactly how much time Sanders would miss, Browns fans got some encouraging news about when they could expect to see Sanders back on Friday evening courtesy of NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
"Shedeur Sanders will not play (Saturday) against the Eagles because of that oblique injury that knocked him out of practice on Wednesday," Pelissero reported. "However, I am told there is cautious optimism that Sanders could return to practice next week and be able to play in the preseason finale.

"Officially, the Browns are calling him day-to-day, and they've got just one of many injury issues in that quarterback room," Pelissero added.
Sanders is the latest in a long line of injuries that have ravaged Cleveland's QB room.
While presumed Week 1 starter Joe Flacco has been fortunate to make it through the first two weeks of training camp unscathed, both Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel have both been hampered by hamstring injuries.
Pickett won't play against the Eagles, but there is optimism Gabriel, who threw for 3,857 yards, 30 touchdowns and just six interceptions at Oregon last season, could be healthy enough to get the start.
"They're hoping Dillon Gabriel is going to wake up feeling good enough (Saturday) that he can go out and start and make his debut after his own hamstring injuries," Pelissero continued. "If not and all else fails, then it's going to be a whole lot of Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley against the Eagles."

Ahmed Hassanein injury update: Latest news on Detroit Lions rookie's status
Ahmed Hassanein injury update: Latest news on Detroit Lions rookie's status originally appeared on The Sporting News Detroit Lions rookie edge rusher Ahmed Hassanein got banged-up in the second half of the preseason Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins. The injury occurred in the third quarter of the contest against Miami. Hassanein was clearly shaken up after a play and sat upright on the field for an extended period of time while trainers checked on him. It goes without saying that any injury the Lions suffer is troublesome considering all of their woes in 2024. But an injury to the edge rusher group, which has no shortage of question marks, is even more concerning. Here's the latest update on Hassanein. Ahmed Hassanein injury update According to Tim Twentyman of Hassanein was slow to get up after getting injured and appeared to be favoring his right arm. Twentyman adds that Hassanein went straight to the locker room instead of making a trip to the blue medical tent first, which isn't a great sign. We'll update this page when more information becomes available, but it's safe to assume that the rookie's day is done. A sixth-round pick of the Lions in April, Hassanein has shown flashes this offseason and is slated to grab a reserve role on the 53-man roster. There's an opportunity for him to have a sizeable role, as the Lions have a shaky situation opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Marcus Davenport is slated to start but is injury-prone, and there isn't much else behind those two.

Watch: Efton Chism III dominates Vikings defense on touchdown drive
New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III keeps on making plays. The undrafted rookie put the Patriots on the board for their second score of the game after hauling in a short pass and powering his way into the end zone for six points in Saturday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. Chism recorded four catches for 63 yards on the drive. Quarterback Josh Dobbs and Chism were in sync throughout the drive, as the Patriots marched down the field on the Vikings' defense. The drive took 17 plays, 88 yards and 5:48 off the clock, extending the Patriots' lead before halftime. The Patriots have the luxury of depth at wideout with 11 players currently rostered at the position. Difficult decisions will need to be made regarding who stays and who goes. Chism might have solidified his spot on the roster with one preseason game left to play. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Former Notre Dame WR on the verge of starting as a rookie for the New York Giants
While former Notre Dame wide receiver Beaux Collins didn't hear his name getting called during the NFL draft, he's still getting an opportunity to make the New York Giants roster. It's starting to look like he won't just make the team, that he could be a starter. The Big Blue Film Room social media account recently pointed out that not only is Collins getting solid run, he's getting first-team reps. They quoted Jordan Raanan, ESPN's Giants beat reporter, as he said 'you are getting first-team reps, that means something, at this point in the summer.' Part of this development with the Giants is that Malik Nabers has been out with an injury, but Collins is still taking full advantage of the opportunity. It remains to be seen what happens when his teammate returns, but you have to believe the organization is very happy with his emergence during fall camp. It's quite the journey that Collins has taken to get to this point in his career, after playing his first three years at Clemson, before finishing his collegiate eligibility with the Irish. It was a solid last year with Notre Dame, as Collins caught 41 passes for 490 yards and three scores. He'll get another chance later tonight to try and secure a spot with the Giants, as they host the New York Jets in their second preseason game of the year.
