There went the Sanders hype, along with his chances to further raise his stock in the ever-evolving quarterback competition in Cleveland. Pickett and Gabriel returned after battling hamstring injuries last week, which gave Sanders the opportunity to start the preseason opener last week.

In a joint practice, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders spoke with reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. The conversation took place on the field after Sanders injury and early exit from practice.

The Cleveland rookie left early with an injury but made sure to seek out Hurts afterward. They had a "lengthy" talk, Hurts said.
