Browns dealing with quarterback injuries heading into the game
Due to rookie Shedeur Sanders’ oblique injury sustained during joint practices with the Eagles, the Browns’ quarterback situation is still uncertain. Tyler Huntley is anticipated to play after finishing 6-of-8 for 51 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers, but third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel is a game-time decision due to a hamstring ailment. Veterans Kenny Pickett (hamstring) and Joe Flacco (workload management) are not anticipated to play in today’s game.
Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee coming off impressive performance
After a strong preseason debut in which backup quarterback Tanner McKee completed 20 of 25 passes for 252 yards and two scores in their victory over the Bengals, Philadelphia comes into the game with momentum. With three different rushers—Will Shipley, ShunDerrick Powell, and AJ Dillon—averaging more over five yards per carry, the Eagles also shown depth in their running attack. Darius Cooper’s six receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown were the high point of their receiving corps’ talent, which was evident throughout the depth chart.
Key players to watch from both teams
LB Carson Schwesinger (who tied for the team lead with six tackles on just thirteen snaps last week), DT Mason Graham, TE Harold Fannin Jr., and quarterback Dillon Gabriel are the players Cleveland fans should watch.
LB Smael Mondon Jr., RB ShunDerrick Powell, OT Jordan Mailata, QB Tanner McKee, and CB Kelee Ringo—who is vying for a starting corner spot against former first-round choice Adoree Jackson—are some of Philadelphia’s standout performers.
