Shedeur Sanders misses practice due to arm soreness

Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders missed practice due to arm soreness, affecting team drills.

Shedeur Sanders sidelined during practice with arm soreness

Shedeur Sanders, the Browns rookie quarterback, missed practice on Saturday because of arm soreness. This absence came after he had not received first-team reps until Wednesday. Team sources confirm that Sanders was unable to throw during the drills. With Kenny Pickett limited to individual practice while recovering from a hamstring injury, the team's offensive reps were split between veteran Joe Flacco and rookie Dillon Gabriel. So far, Sanders has shown promise, completing 49 of 70 passes with six touchdowns and no interceptions during the initial practices.

Sanders’ missed practice raises concern about his health and availability as the season approaches. With a solid performance earlier in camp, his injury could impact his momentum and the team's evaluation process. The Browns must balance their expectations for a rookie quarterback while addressing the immediate needs of the offense, especially with Pickett still recovering. This situation highlights the unpredictability of training camps where injuries can alter competitive dynamics significantly.
