**Browns Coach Kevin Stefanski Remains Noncommittal on Quarterback Starter**
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has added to the suspense surrounding the team’s quarterback situation following Shedeur Sanders’ standout performance in his preseason debut. During a media session at training camp on Monday, Stefanski was asked if he would announce a starting quarterback for Week 1 after the upcoming preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I’m not there yet,” Stefanski responded, as reported by ESPN. He also refrained from confirming whether Sanders would start against the Eagles, stating, “I’m not there on the game itself. By Wednesday or Thursday, I’ll have a better feel for the game and how we’re going to handle that, and I’ll update you guys, but not there yet.”
Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel has returned to team drills, making a case for a spot on the active roster as the season approaches, according to Cleveland.com. Meanwhile, Kenny Pickett remains limited in practice as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
The intrigue surrounding the Browns’ quarterback competition intensified after Sanders threw for 138 yards on 14 completions, including two touchdown passes, in a recent game where Cleveland triumphed over the Carolina Panthers, 30-10. Tyler Huntley also contributed with a touchdown pass. Veteran Joe Flacco seems to have the advantage for the starting role, given his experience and familiarity with Stefanski’s offensive scheme. However, Sanders’ impressive debut has certainly caught attention.
The Browns currently have five active quarterbacks in training camp, with Deshaun Watson on injured reserve due to a torn Achilles.
