Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett continues to be limited in practice by a hamstring injury, but he\u2019s trying to put a positive spin on the situation. <\/p>\n
Mobility has been an asset for Pickett during his time in the NFL, but he knows he will have to continue to take it easy with the hamstring upon his return to full action at Browns camp. Pickett said \u201cit could be a real positive\u201d to focus on playing from the pocket even as he acknowledges the negatives to his bid to win the starting job. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re not out there, I think it\u2019s a setback,\u201d Pickett said, via a transcript from the team. \u201cYou know, you have to be out there playing and competing to win a job. And I fully understand that. That\u2019s why I\u2019m pushing to get back, you know, as fast as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
The setback has not dimmed Pickett\u2019s determination to wind up on top of the depth chart. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, 100% it is. I\u2019m trying to get back out there, you know, as fast as possible,\u201d Pickett said. \u201cI\u2019ve never had, you know, a soft tissue injury like this, so really a first-time experience in my career, I felt like I came in great shape, was hitting numbers speed wise that I\u2019ve never hit before. So, it\u2019s frustrating that it happened but you know, turn the page and just trying to be, you know, as good as I can be when I do return.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shedeur Sanders is dealing with a sore arm, so Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel are currently the only two full-strength participants in Cleveland\u2019s quarterback competition. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett continues to be limited in practice by a hamstring injury, but he\u2019s trying to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-55970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
