Kenny Pickett admits harsh truth about recent hamstring injury

The four-man race for the Browns QB1 job has seen a shakeup in reps lately, as Kenny Pickett missed all the team reps last week after suffering a hamstring injury. In Pickett's absence, Joe Flacco took most of the first-team reps, while Dillon Gabriel split between first and second-team reps, and Shedeur Sanders saw a mix of every unit.

Pickett and Flacco have been the favorites to win the job all offseason due to their experience, but it's hard to prove yourself to a new coaching staff without taking reps. Pickett spoke on losing ground in the QB1 race due to his injury on Saturday, as he knows he won't be able to win the job if he's not on the field.
