On Thursday, a major name was released from his team: DT Christian Wilkins, formerly of the Las Vegas Raiders, a player Cleveland reportedly tried to acquire in NFL free agency two offseasons ago. The Raiders announced Wilkins’ release in a statement Thursday:

Back in March, the Browns acquired Pickett in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles in hopes he could make a bid for the starting gig. It seems to be a wide open competition with Pickett and Flacco reportedly taking most of the first-team reps ahead of the two rookies, Gabriel and Sanders.

Kenny Pickett suffered a hamstring injury and will be reevaluated later this week. How does this affect Browns quarterback depth chart?

Following the injury to Kenny Pickett, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski will give more reps to Shedeur Sanders as well as his other quarterbacks ahead of the upcoming NFL season.

Caleb Williams has certainly not found his groove in new head coach Ben Johnson's offense. Williams likely built up some bad habits while absorbing 68 sacks as a rookie, tied for the third-most sacks taken in a season ever, and it's going to take some time to refrain from reverting to those learned behaviors.

Cleveland's front office remains noncommittal about their second-round pick's future while history suggests draft capital often determines a player's fate after off-field incidents.

Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders finds himself trying to fight through a four-way QB battle while adjusting to pro life, somthing he's taking in stride.

The other 20 draft picks who played at Alabama high schools and colleges have signed NFL contracts worth a cumulative $126.397 million.

Rest easy, NFL fans. This is the final weekend without any football games that we'll be subject to until after the Super Bowl in February. On Thursday night the Los Angeles Chargers and the Detroit Lions will kick off the 2025 preseason with the annual Hall of Fame game, then the rest of the league will get going the following weekend.
