Browns, Eagles offensive linemen talk over Miller Lites after joint practice
One player who won't be suiting up for that game is Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson. The three-time Pro Bowler suffered a leg injury earlier in training camp. He had minor surgery but may be back in time for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4.
He's on the sidelines for practice wearing a knee brace in the meantime. Once today's practice finished up, it was Miller Time for him and his fellow linemen.

The Eagles and Browns have two of the most-acclaimed offensive lines in the league. Their projected starters this season have made a combined 20 Pro Bowls and 15 All-Pro teams (six first-team, nine second-team).
With Dickerson out, backup Brett Toth has been working in with the Eagles' starters. If Dickerson misses time, he'll be the second new starter in 2025 for the Eagles' front along with right guard Tyler Steen. The former third-round pick is taking the spot left by free agent departure Mekhi Becton, now in Los Angeles.
The Browns wrap up their preseason slate against the Los Angeles Rams on Aug. 23. Philadelphia finishes off their preseason schedule a day earlier on the road against the New York Jets.

Phillies' Ace Zack Wheeler Has Surgery to Remove Blood Clot in Right Arm
Major League Baseball Phillies' Ace Zack Wheeler Has Surgery to Remove Blood Clot in Right Arm Updated Aug. 18, 2025 4:56 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Phillies ace Zack Wheeler had surgery Monday to remove a blood clot in his upper right arm, and the team says a timeline for his recovery remains uncertain. The Phillies said Wheeler underwent a thrombolysis procedure by Dr. Paul DiMuzio at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. The 35-year-old Wheeler was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a blood clot after experiencing worsening shoulder soreness. Wheeler, who made his third All-Star team last month, is 10-5 with a 2.71 ERA in 24 starts this season. He has a major league-high 195 strikeouts in 149.2 innings. He has thrown at least 192 innings in three of the previous four seasons. The veteran right-hander looked like he was in the running for his first career Cy Young as the Phillies' ace, while they attempted to win the NL East crown and make it to the postseason for the fourth consecutive season. The strength of their rotation, which includes Wheeler as well as Cristopher Sanchez, Ranger Suarez and Taijuan Walker, have helped compensate for a lacking bullpen. Now, with Wheeler out indefinitely, it becomes even more important for Aaron Nola – who recently returned from the IL himself when he pitched on Aug. 17 against the Nationals – to perform more like he did even last year, and before 2025's injury troubles. The Phillies are in first place in the NL East, five games up on the New York Mets and tied for the second-most wins in the NL behind the Brewers. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Joe Flacco named as Browns' starting quarterback, winning competitive race for QB1
Joe Flacco is a starting quarterback again. The Cleveland Browns announced Monday that Flacco, a 40-year-old veteran, will be the team's QB1. To earn the starting role, Flacco had to beat out four other competitors: Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders and the recently acquired Tyler Huntley. Flacco has continually held the edge in the race to be named the starter. He has been consistently atop the unofficial depth charts throughout the preseason, followed by Pickett at QB2 and then Gabriel, Sanders, Huntley and the injured Deshaun Watson all listed at QB3. Pickett, who appeared poised to compete with Flacco for the starting job, suffered a hamstring injury in camp, while Sanders suffered an oblique injury that held him out of Week 2 of the preseason. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Of the Browns' QB room, Flacco and Pickett are the only two who have yet to play in the preseason. Sanders made his NFL debut with a solid showing in the first game against the Carolina Panthers, while Gabriel started in Saturday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Huntley played in both games as a backup. On Sunday, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that the team would be naming its starter ahead of the final preseason game this weekend, in order to treat the game as a dress rehearsal for the regular season. As a result, Flacco will make his preseason debut with Cleveland as the Browns take on the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Flacco was the Baltimore Ravens' starting quarterback for 11 seasons, notably winning a Super Bowl with the team in the 2012 season. He has bounced between four different teams for the past few seasons. Flacco's last stint with Cleveland, in 2023, ended with the veteran winning Comeback Player of the Year. Flacco signed with the Browns late in that season to replace an injured Watson and ended up leading the team to the playoffs. Having previously worked with the Browns, Flacco showed more promise as a Week 1 starter, with his experience and familiarity with the system serving as a leg up over the younger Pickett. How has the Browns' quarterback race shaken out since the start of training camp? Cleveland has had one of the most competitive quarterback races in the NFL this year, with the Browns holding a large number of very different QB options. At this point in the preseason, the Browns have six quarterbacks under contract: Flacco, Pickett, Gabriel, Sanders, Huntley and Watson, who is out again after tearing his Achilles twice last year. The seemingly always-injured Watson (who Browns owner Jimmy Haslam recently admitted was a mistake to trade for) was not expected to be a part of the quarterback race. That left the remaining five. Early in training camp, Flacco and Pickett emerged as clear frontrunners for the job, taking the most first-team snaps and overall showing the most promise as starters. Pickett, a fourth-year veteran suffered a hamstring injury before returning to training camp a week later. With Pickett out, Flacco, the most experienced of the group, took control of the QB1 spot prior to the first preseason game. In the Browns' first unofficial depth chart prior to the first preseason game, Flacco was listed as QB1, with Pickett as QB2 after returning from injury. Rookies Gabriel and Sanders were listed as third- and fourth-string, respectively. The two rookies have been largely working with backups throughout the start of training camp, with Sanders even working with members of the equipment team. Gabriel has also been limited in practice due to his own hamstring injury, though he still held in front of Sanders in the initial review. And Huntley, a career backup who spent some time with the Browns last season, largely seems to be a last-second addition in case either Gabriel or Pickett's injuries extend longer than expected. It's unclear whether he will make it to the 53-man roster, especially considering the number of quarterbacks that Cleveland is holding.
