Joe Flacco, Cleveland Browns and Rams

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Elias Neal begins the second quarter with a sack against Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco for a 9-yard loss.
In hours from now, the Cleveland Browns will host the Los Angeles Rams in their third and final preseason game. While Kenny Pickett won't play because of a lingering hamstring issue, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders will be playing to push Pickett out of a job completely.
Kenny Pickett, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel are all technically battling for a roster spot, although more and more momentum has been building that the Browns could potentially keep all four quarterbacks on their roster.
When coach Kevin Stefanski named Flacco the Browns’ starting quarterback, it wasn’t just another personnel decision – it was the official arrival of what might be the most unexpected feel-good story in Browns history.
Flacco served as the team’s QB late in the 2023 season to lead Cleveland to its second postseason appearance under head coach Kevin Stefanski and that familiarity likely helped the 40-year-old signal-caller secure the job. In his Tuesday press conference, Stefanski said Flacco has done really well in the offseason program and training camp.
