Browns QB Shedeur Sanders' injury timeline revealed after oblique strain
How long, however, will Sanders be out as he continues to look to prove to the team that he deserves reps after a strong preseason debut in the win over the Carolina Panthers? We may just have an answer for you. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero has reported that the Browns could get Sanders back on the practice field as early as Monday next week, and that he could play in the Browns' final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Here is what Pelissero had to say on the Browns' fifth rounder:
"Shedeur Sanders will not play tomorrow against the Eagles because of that oblique injury that knocked him out of practice on Wednesday. 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."
With Sanders out against the Eagles, it is anticipated (barring a last-minute setback with his hamstring injury) that third round rookie Dillon Gabriel will make his NFL debut and start for the Browns. We have yet to see Kenny Pickett in a live setting since suffering a hamstring injury, as it has been the 40-year-old Joe Flacco who has won the war of attrition at this point and is the front-runner to be named the Browns' starting quarterback.
Could Sanders still make a push for the backup job if he comes back healthy next week and puts together another strong outing against the Rams in the preseason finale? Much of that answer can be found in how Gabriel plays tomorrow afternoon against the Eagles. However, there is without a doubt, pressure on the third rounder with Sanders biting at his heels.

Jim Harbaugh on NCAA punishment: "I'm done engaging"
The NFL and the Chargers officially had no comment on the NCAA's 10-year 'show cause' order on head coach Jim Harbaugh when both parties were reached on Friday. Harbaugh himself reflected that same sentiment during his press conference after Saturday's preseason matchup with the Rams. 'Like I told you last year, I'm not engaging,' Harbaugh said, via Khris Rhim of ESPN. 'I'm done engaging.' Instead of implementing a two-year postseason ban on Michigan, the NCAA elected to impose financial penalties and recruiting limitations as part of the final punishment issued in connection with the Connor Stalions advance scouting scandal. Harbaugh and the Wolverines won the CFP National Championship to cap the 2023 season, after which he left the program to become the Chargers head coach.

Despite different rooting interests, Steelers fans excited for football ahead of preseason home opener
Steelers fans had a fun day on the North Shore tailgating before heading in for Saturday night's tune-up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Saturday's contest was the only home preseason game of the 2025 season, but Max Kilgore's Acrisure Stadium debut still meant the world. "He was ready to put the T.J. [Watt] jersey on at about 7 o'clock this morning," Dan, Max's dad, said. Between the cornhole and the grilling, another crew was ready to support the Steelers, too. It's because of Max Hurleman, a rookie running back for Pittsburgh. "The guy who did the backflip last week after he scored the touchdown? That's my kid," Max's mother, Lisa, said. Her son is an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame. "We're all here to celebrate his opportunity here with the Steelers," Jason, Max's father, said. Max's family and friends made the trip from Berks County, Pennsylvania. Before his final year at Notre Dame, he went to Colgate and played football there. Some of his friends from that school traveled to Pittsburgh on Saturday as well. As they celebrated with food and fun, they couldn't be prouder. "He's just doing his thing, and it's been very, very surreal," Lisa said. "Surreal" was echoed all over the North Shore on Saturday between family, friends, father, and son. The wins and losses may not count, but it's the memories that do. "I hope he goes to bed happy and had one of his favorite days ever," Kilgore said, referring to his son. The Steelers play their final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Aug. 21 on KDKA-TV. Just 22 days remain until the season opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 7.
