The Browns will name their starting quarterback this week, HC Kevin Stefanski said, and we all know who it is. By the process of elimination, it’s rather clear whom Cleveland viewed as its starter all along, or at least the most likely. I’m sure they held out hopes one of the younger players might catch lightning in a bottle, or simply flash.
Although we saw flashes from Shedeur Sanders, he is now dealing with an injury. If he doesn’t make it into the final preseason game, there is no chance for him. And the Browns will name their starting quarterback before the third preseason game, yet they’re not sure he will even practice.
