The Cleveland Browns announced a concerning injury update on quarterback Shedeur Sanders that bears watching ahead of their preseason opener next Friday.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Browns announced that Shedeur Sanders is being held out of Saturday’s practice drills because of “shoulder soreness.” Further details aren’t available at this time.

Sanders is in a four-way competition with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel for Cleveland’s QB1 job. It has been widely reported that Flacco and Pickett are the two front-runners, but with the regular season still five weeks away, Sanders and Gabriel still have time to strengthen their cases.

The 23-year-old Shedeur Sanders had an excellent final season at Colorado, completing 74.0 percent of pass attempts for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Cleveland selected Sanders in the fifth round at No. 144 overall.

As the consensus No. 2 quarterback in this year’s class (behind Miami’s Cam Ward, the first overall pick), the Colorado product was expected to be an early first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Falling out of the first two rounds was stunning enough, but the slide continued into round five until the Browns finally took a chance on Sanders. Soon enough, we’ll see if 31 other teams were right to pass on Sanders, or if the Browns hit the jackpot.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
