Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders sustained an oblique injury during a joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday, the team said. The fifth-round pick left the field early and did not return to drills. The Browns will continue to evaluate Sanders, but the setback puts his availability for Saturday’s preseason game in Philadelphia in doubt. Sanders had impressed in his preseason debut against Carolina last week, throwing two touchdown passes while playing 45 snaps. The injury further complicates a crowded quarterback picture in Cleveland. Veteran Joe Flacco has taken most of the first-team work and is now the betting favorite to open the season under center. Kenny Pickett remains limited by a hamstring issue, while fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel and recent signee Tyler Huntley round out the depth chart.
