Cleveland Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury following a practice session on Saturday. According to sources, the injury occurred near the end of the session, and Picket, whom the team had been anticipating as the future of its offense, is set for a reevaluation later in the week. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was informed by the sources of the injury details, which were not immediately released by the team. The Browns have not yet issued an official statement regarding Pickett’s condition or potential impact on his availability for upcoming games.
This setback comes as the Browns prepare for a crucial stretch of their season, with several key matchups ahead. Pickett, a second-year quarterback, has shown promise but has faced challenges in adapting to the NFL level. His injury raises questions about the team’s offensive strategy and depth at the quarterback position. The Browns will be relying on backup QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson for now, though the team may consider other options if Pickett’s recovery timeline extends beyond the reevaluation period.
