Browns QB Kenny Pickett Limited by Hamstring Injury at Camp

Kenny Pickett, currently competing for the starting quarterback position with the Cleveland Browns, has been sidelined by a hamstring injury sustained late in a training camp practice, causing him to miss multiple team practices and limiting him to individual drills. Despite the setback and the inability to scramble as he normally does, Pickett remains determined to win the starting job and is using the time to improve his pocket passing skills. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski and the medical staff have been cautious about his return, and Pickett has expressed frustration but understands the need to recover fully. Meanwhile, other quarterbacks in the competition, including Joe Flacco, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel, have been receiving more reps during team drills, although Sanders has also faced minor arm soreness limiting his participation. Pickett's potential return and ability to secure the starting role could lead to a notable matchup against his former team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, later in the season. The Browns continue to prepare with a focus on improving overall team execution, including contributions from tight ends and defensive players.
