Since being drafted with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pickett hasn't been able to put it all together. He has shown flashes of starting potential, but those flashes haven't turned into consistency.

And, it sounds like Pickett won't appear in the Browns' final preseason contest on Saturday vs. the Rams. Stefanski did provide a positive update about Pickett on Wednesday, though, despite him still dealing with the injury. “Continuing to progress. He’s done everything in his power to get back out there ASAP,” Stefanski said.

The Cleveland Browns have already chosen Joe Flacco to be their starting quarterback, but the backup quarterback battle is still ongoing between Kenny Pickett and rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.
