Cleveland Browns Sign Tyler Huntley Amid Quarterback Injury Crisis

The Cleveland Browns have faced a quarterback injury crisis during their 2025 training camp, prompting the emergency signing of veteran Tyler Huntley to bolster their quarterback depth. Initially, the Browns had a competitive four-way battle among Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders for the starting role, but injuries to Pickett, Gabriel, and Sanders have complicated the situation. Huntley, a former Baltimore Ravens backup with starting experience and a brief 2024 stint with the Miami Dolphins, was added to ensure the team has enough healthy quarterbacks for the preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers. The Browns' first unofficial depth chart lists Flacco as the starter, followed by Pickett, Gabriel, and Sanders, with Huntley now joining as a potential roster candidate. Huntley's signing adds competition and uncertainty, particularly for Sanders, who has faced speculation about his roster status amid his recent arm soreness. The Browns currently have six quarterbacks competing for roster spots, with Deshaun Watson still recovering from an Achilles injury and uncertain for Week 1.
