Browns, Steelers QB Competitions Heat Up

Training camps for both the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers have drawn attention due to intense quarterback competitions. In Cleveland, Joe Flacco has taken the lead as Kenny Pickett recovers from a hamstring injury, though Pickett has resumed limited practice and remains in contention. Rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders have benefited from increased reps, with Sanders returning to full participation after arm soreness and demonstrating strong motivation. The Browns' coaching staff maintains that the starting quarterback role is still open, with upcoming joint practices and preseason games set to further inform their decision. In Pittsburgh, Aaron Rodgers is adapting to the offense with mixed early results but brings veteran leadership. Both teams are managing injuries and evaluating new additions as they prepare for the preseason.
