BEREA, Ohio -- What might be the NFL's most compelling -- and packed -- position battle begins in earnest on Wednesday.

Browns veterans reported Tuesday for the start of training camp and soon Cleveland's quarterback competition will be underway. While quarterback Deshaun Watson remains sidelined by a right Achilles tendon injury that landed him on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and is expected to keep him out for most of the 2025 season, four players -- Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders -- will compete to be the Browns' starting quarterback this fall.
