Veteran Flacco Leads Browns QB Rotation as Rookie Pickett Stumbles

The Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition continued on the second day of training camp, with veteran Joe Flacco taking the lead in the rotation. Flacco, 40, and 27-year-old Kenny Pickett had been splitting first-team reps, but on Thursday, Flacco took the majority of the snaps with the starters.

Meanwhile, Pickett, the Browns' first-round draft pick, struggled during practice, throwing an interception and fumbling a snap. This came a day after head coach Kevin Stefanski had cautioned against reading too much into the quarterback order this early in camp.

The Browns' quarterback room is a crowded one, with four players vying for roster spots. In addition to Flacco and Pickett, the team also has rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Despite the depth, Browns general manager Andrew Berry indicated that the team is considering keeping all four quarterbacks on the roster for the 2023 season.

The quarterback competition is sure to be a focal point throughout the Browns' training camp and preseason, as the team looks to solidify its depth and find the right mix of experience and potential at the position.
