The Cleveland Browns' quarterback battle is taking clearer shape after over a week of training camp practices. Quarterback Joe Flacco seems to be leading the way, especially after Kenny Pickett went down with a hamstring injury and has yet to return to team drills. Another one of the four quarterbacks had a particularly bad practice on Friday.
Dillon Gabriel struggled heavily on Friday, going 3-of-14 in team drills, per ESPN Cleveland. Struggles continued into Saturday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.
"Dillon Gabriel is again getting a lot of work in team drills," Oyefusi posted on X. "Led the 2s vs. the 2s after Flacco and didn’t find a completion from about a half-dozen attempts outside of a check down. Led one play with the first-team offensive line and is now leading the 3s, where he just had 2 straight completions to end the session."
These struggles could lead to more opportunities for Shedeur Sanders, but it looks like Flacco is in the driver's seat to be the No. 1 quarterback for Week 1.
