Carson Beck Back Working with the Threes

Monday, August 10, 6:50 AM

After an impressive starting debut in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck was back working primarily with the third-unit offense during Sunday's practice, and he was not particularly sharp, according to team reporter Darren Urban. While he did rally with a pair of touchdown throws late in practice, the offense was reportedly a step behind the defense for much of the day. Beck was a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and there is an expectation that he could see starting work at some point as a rookie. His performance in the Hall of Fame Game offered reassurance to fantasy managers weighing the late-season upside of players like Trey McBride or Jeremiyah Love. However, Beck will still need to establish consistency and show he can run the offense without significant drop-off to remove some of the lingering doubt surrounding his high-profile teammates.

Shedeur Sanders News

Shedeur Sanders Has Good Practice with First-Team Offense

Tuesday, August 4, 5:04 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders worked with the first-team offense for the third time in training camp and had his best day with that group. Sanders was on target, made high-level throws, and outplayed Deshaun Watson, who was reportedly inconsistent and struggled with accuracy on Tuesday. Watson entered as the favorite to win the Browns' starting job, but it appears the tides are turning in the second-year quarterback's favor. The Browns open the regular season against the Jacksonville Jaguars and will have a decision by then. Until then, Sanders will need to remain on point and defy the odds to keep the starting job.
