Browns Open Season With Four-Man QB Depth Chart Amid Injuries

The Cleveland Browns have released their first quarterback depth chart of the 2025 season, placing veteran Joe Flacco as the starter, followed by Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders. Pickett's preseason hamstring injury has solidified Flacco's lead, while both Gabriel and Pickett have missed practices due to injuries, giving Sanders opportunities to impress the coaching staff despite being listed fourth. The addition of former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley has intensified the competition, with Huntley expected to play in the preseason opener due to injuries among the rookies. Sanders, a fifth-round rookie, faces pressure to earn his spot amid mixed fan reactions and his own physical challenges, but he still has time to climb the depth chart before the season begins. The Browns’ quarterback situation remains fluid, with multiple players vying to prove themselves during the preseason. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars' unofficial depth chart hints at a competitive running back situation, featuring Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne sharing significant roles in a committee approach.
