Shedeur Sanders out with oblique injury; Browns' QB room faces major setback
Shedeur Sanders sidelined by oblique injury (Image via: Getty Images) Cleveland Browns fans have been bracing for uncertainty at quarterback all preseason, and the latest setback only deepens the concern. Rookie Shedeur Sanders, who impressed in his preseason debut, has suffered an oblique injury during practice, adding to previous hamstring issues for Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel. With the regular season approaching, questions about the Browns' starting QB and roster strategy are intensifying. Shedeur Sanders' oblique injury escalates Cleveland Browns' quarterback preseason troubles Shedeur Sanders' performance in the first preseason game had many fans hoping he could start in Week 1. Yet, the unofficial depth chart still lists him fourth, behind Dillon Gabriel—a move that has sparked debate among supporters and analysts. Head coach Kevin Stefanski had indicated Sanders would start the team's second preseason game against the Eagles if Pickett and Gabriel were unavailable. Now, with Sanders sidelined for evaluation, that plan remains uncertain. The possibility of all three young quarterbacks being unavailable puts veteran Joe Flacco in the spotlight. At 40, Flacco is the most experienced option, though he has not taken part in preseason action. For a team in rebuilding mode, this presents a delicate balance to develop the younger quarterbacks with live reps or rely on Flacco's steadiness to navigate the early weeks. Cleveland Browns backup QB battle continues with Pickett Gabriel and Tyler Huntley in spotlight amid Sanders' injury Pickett appears to be the odd man out but could still make the roster if either Gabriel or Sanders is moved to the practice squad. Gabriel's placement ahead of Sanders continues to baffle fans, while Tyler Huntley, brought in as preseason depth, is the most likely to be released unless he impresses in the remaining games. Also Read: Aaron Rodgers' awkward 'Joe Biden' moment exposes his struggle to fit in with Steelers, and how Cam Heyward and I.J. Watt stepped in Stefanski has stressed the importance of evaluating backup quarterbacks before final roster decisions. With Shedeur Sanders' injury, Tyler Huntley may see significant playing time in Cleveland's second of only three preseason games. The Browns' quarterback room is facing its toughest test yet, and how the team navigates these injuries could shape their Week 1 lineup and season trajectory.

NFL 2025's biggest challenges: From expensive access to deteriorating officiating, disaster hangs in the balance
NFL (via Getty Images) As the 2025 National Football League season approaches, the spotlight is not all on the franchises or players but on the mounting issues that could redefine how fans and insiders watch the game. From growing streaming prices for viewing National Football League games to mounting doubts regarding diversity efforts and officiating, the NFL faces a complex crossroads. Critical issues that the NFL is facing in 2025 are officiating and increasing fan expenses Even as the most-watched professional sports league in the United States, the National Football League is not without issues. Entering the 2025 campaign, several issues—anywhere from game accessibility and officiating quality to the league's position on social causes—raise key questions regarding its future direction. For decades, fans and pundits have decried the uniformity of NFL officiating. In 2025, things have come to a head. Football Zebras reports that three officials were quietly reassigned to college-level duty—an unofficial demotion indicating continued discontent. As play speed continues to rise with each passing season and no serious technological improvements are on the horizon to assist referees, fans once more expect contentious calls that may decide entire games. Shedeur Sanders' second ticket in June shows 'lack of awareness' | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC The absence of a genuine 'villain' team One reason that previous seasons were so memorable was that they featured a divisive team, such as the New England Patriots during their polarizing dynasty. In 2025, there is no such team hated by everyone and loved to hate by all. Although the Dallas Cowboys incite nostalgia-driven frustration, their on-field performance hasn't been engaging in decades. The Kansas City Chiefs, who are captained by Patrick Mahomes and swirled around by pop-culture controversy such as Travis Kelce's affair with Taylor Swift, are more loved than hated. Without a team to hate, rivalries lose their luster. The cost of fandom continues to climb From the NFL Sunday Ticket to Thursday Night Football on Amazon, the splintered media world has made viewing football more bewildering and costly than ever. Maybe the biggest concern of all, though, is the National Football League's relentless quest for profit. As talks continue about an 18-game regular season and more games abroad, many fear that the league is prioritizing profits over player health and fan allegiance. While the NFL has not yet experienced actual backlash, history advises us that unbridled expansion will eventually reach a breaking point. Also read: Inside the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce brand empire: Can they become the next billion-dollar power couple? The 2025 National Football League season will bring excitement to the playing field, but the escalating off-field issues—from antiquated officiating to the soaring cost of being a fan—are too big to ignore. Left unaddressed, the league threatens to lose trust and passion from its vast following. Fixing these problems early could prove to be the difference in maintaining not only viewership but also the integrity of the sport. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.
