Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders sustains an oblique injury and is unlikely to play against Eagles
Sanders did not play the remainder of the practice session after he was hurt and was ruled out of Thursday's practice. Sanders and the Browns were in Philadelphia for a pair of joint practices ahead of Saturday's preseason game.
The Browns said Sanders is day to day.
Sanders completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards with two first-half touchdown passes to Kaden Davis in his NFL preseason debut in a win over Carolina on Friday night.
The performance by Hall of Famer Deion Sanders' son even caught the attention of NBA star LeBron James.
'That young (man) looking good out there,' James wrote. 'Keep going UP!!! HEAD down on the grind and HEAD high to the most high.'
The Browns took Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the NFL draft. He wasn't selected until the 144th overall pick, a stunning fall for the most recognizable player in this draft class.
Sanders finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy balloting last season for Colorado and threw for a school-record 4,134 yards last season.
He is part of a crowded Browns quarterback room as Deshaun Watson is expected to sit out this season with a torn Achilles tendon. The group also includes Kenny Pickett, 40-year-old Joe Flacco and third-round pick Dillon Gabriel, who was responsible for a Football Bowl Subdivision-record 188 total touchdowns during a six-year career that included stops at Central Florida, Oklahoma and Oregon.
Pickett has been slowed in training camp with a hamstring injury and Gabriel experienced a tight hamstring.

Pass Rusher Matt Judon No Longer Entertains a Free Agent Tag As the Miami Dolphins Near a Deal
Matt Judon visits the Miami Dolphins camp: Image via X The Miami Dolphins don't seem to be satisfied with their edge defenders' lineup. Even if they have one of the strongest weapons under their belt, they are certainly looking for more. Well, not just anyone, they look keen to bring in a veteran linebacker from their divisional rival. The star in question is none other than Matt Judon, who has been there as the most valuable free agent available in the NFL deep after scoring a below-average season stat for the Atlanta Falcons last year. Matt Judon seems to pen a contract with the Dolphins Judon, 33, was nowhere near his best for the past couple of years. He suffered a grave lower biceps injury during week 4 of the 2023 season. After some checkups and treatments, he bounced back but couldn't retain the standard. For the first two weeks (in 2024), he mounted 1.5 sacks, 12 tackles, two quarterback hits, and two tackles. In week 15, he scored his lowest, 42% of the defensive snaps. For obvious reasons, the Falcons moved on without signing a contract. But it looks like 2025 will be another game-changer for the superstar pass rusher. He isn't washed up after all. Dolphins see right through the layers and seem to act on it pretty soon. NFL insider Jordan Schultz wrote on X, 'Sources: The #Dolphins will host 4x Pro Bowl OLB Matthew Judon on a visit tomorrow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Beautiful, Now Its Hard To Look At Her Crowdy Fan Undo 'Miami has been exploring pass-rush options, and Judon — who had 5.5 sacks last season in Atlanta — brings 72 career sacks to the table.' Schultz added that Judon will visit on Monday and ''both parties are motivated to reach a deal.'' Judon might not have an immediate record worthy of a promise, but his history with the Patriots speaks volumes. He clinched two of his Pro Bowl nods and also finished ninth in the NFL AP Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2022. He can still be a depth piece for the Super Bowl contender. But do the Patriots have any chance of getting him further? Will Matt Judon be back with the Patriots? Well, the former New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon is desperate to get his feet back in the business. He doesn't at all want his fans to forget his classics. He recently posted a clip of his shots during his tenure with the Patriots. In his first year with the Pats, Judon racked up 60 tackles, one fumble recovery, and 12.5 sacks. He broke his own records in 2022 with a career-high 15.5 sacks, two forced fumbles (recovering one), and 60 total tackles. Does he want these golden days back? Not specified, but Judon's caption in his IG story clearly depicts that his heart is yearning to don those 'red sleeves' again. The four-time Pro Bowler might just have a momentary nostalgia drifting through his mind, but for fans, it's nothing less than a tease to get back in Foxborough. However, in reality, it looks far-fetched in all likelihood.

Tom Brady's outfit at Raiders preseason game turns heads, internet reacts: ‘I need that jacket'
Tom Brady's appearance at the Los Angeles Raiders' Saturday (August 16) game against the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium has caught fans' attention not because of anything he did, but because of what he wore. File photo of Tom Brady(Getty Images via AFP) Tom Brady arrives in style 'Brady in a white Al Davis-esque Raiders jacket is a sight I'd never thought I'd see,' an X user wrote, sharing a video of the NFL star. In October 2024, the NFL approved a 5% minority stake in the franchise for Brady, as reported by the Bucs. Hence, his appearance at the game was in line with fulfilling his ownership duties. Rather than any obvious fashion statement, what caught fans' attention was how odd it felt to see the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wear the jersey of a team he once had a rivalry against. TB12 was 5-1 against the franchise throughout his career, as reported by Athlon Sports. Fans react to Tom Brady's outfit Fans have taken to social media to share their reactions to Brady's latest fashion outing. 'I use to call Al Davis' look Mr. Las Vegas. That was back in the late 80s when they were in LA. For me it was the glasses he wore,' a fan wrote. 'He's starting to look more and more like Bruce Jenner right before…you know,' another shared. 'I still have mixed feelings about this. But if he helps us win a Super Bowl there will be no more tuck rule animosity,' a fan expressed. A fan opined his thoughts by writing, 'It's going to take some time for me to get used to him being part of the Raiders. But, he is CA badass, so I'm all in if he helps us build a winning team.' 'Tom just a divorced bachelor living in Las Vegas at this point , I see the vision 😆' another fan wrote. Due to his stake in the Raiders, Brady is 'not permitted to attend in-person or online broadcast production meetings and may not have access to team facilities, players or coaches', as per the NFL. Nonetheless, he seems to be revelling in this phase of his career. With contribution from Stuti Gupta
