Browns list Shedeur as QB4 on initial depth chart

The Cleveland Browns released their initial depth chart for the start of the 2025 preseason, and Shedeur Sanders appears to be facing an uphill battle for playing time in his rookie campaign.

Sanders is fourth on the list at quarterback, behind veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, while also trailing fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.

It's no surprise to see Flacco and Pickett ahead of the Colorado star, but Gabriel as QB3 is notable. The Browns drafted the former Oregon star in the third round before finally stopping Sanders' slide in the fifth.

The depth chart wasn't the only piece of quarterback news from the Browns on Monday, as sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that former Pro Bowler Tyler Huntley signed with the club to give them another arm throughout camp.

Cleveland opens its preseason Friday in Charlotte against the Carolina Panthers before facing the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams to wrap up the schedule.
