After a grueling quarterback competition in Cleveland, veteran Joe Flacco has emerged as the Browns' starting quarterback for Week 1, ahead of much-talked about rookie Shedeur Sand

Flacco is entering his 18th NFL season and remains atop the depth chart ahead of his second Browns stint. The 40-year-old appeared in eight games (six starts) with the Colts last season, completing 162-of-248 pass attempts for 1,761 yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

The Cleveland Browns officially named veteran Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback for their 2025 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, but there are still three other signal-callers fighting for positioning as training camp nears its end.

PHILADELPHIA -- Shedeur Sanders tossed some short passes to tight end David Njoku in pregame warmups, raising hopes that he can play some vs. the Rams next week.

The Cleveland Browns rookie QB will not play today with an oblique injury, but he was still all smiles in a much more lowkey arrival vs. the Philadelphia Eagles

Shedeur Sanders’ NFL debut came with high expectations, and the results were very positive for him and the team. The Cleveland Browns’ preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers averaged 2.237 million viewers on NFL Network, making it the most-watched preseason game on the channel since 2015.
