Here’s what you need to watch for this week at Browns camp:
🔥 1. Quarterback Reps: Flacco vs. Pickett
Joe Flacco continues to lead the first-team offense, but second-year QB Kenny Pickett has been getting increased work, especially when Flacco rests during team drills. With Pickett nursing a minor hamstring issue, his availability this week could shift the QB dynamics.
🧱 2. Defensive Adjustments Under Pressure
Last season’s defensive drop-off is top of mind. Coordinator Jim Schwartz is looking to re-establish a dominant identity, and this week’s padded practices will give us our best look yet at how the linebacker and safety groups are developing.
🔁 3. Position Battles to Watch
- Linebacker: Who steps up with early reps? Could a veteran signing be in play?
- Wide Receiver Depth: The battle for WR4/WR5 is fierce with rookies flashing early.
- Cornerback Depth: Injuries have opened the door for new faces to emerge.
📅 Schedule Highlights
- Monday–Wednesday: Full pads, open practices with fan attendance.
- Thursday: Closed walkthrough.
- Friday: Joint scrimmage simulation.
- Saturday: Youth Day — expect high energy and family-friendly events.
