Former Steelers QB Kenny Pickett has suffered an unfortunate hamstring injury at Browns training camp — opening the door for the starting competition to get additional reps.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Pickett suffered his hamstring injury at the end of Saturday’s practice — and is set to be re-evaluated later this week.

The Steelers traded Pickett to the Eagles last offseason — who then sent him to the Browns, where he’s involved in a four-way competition for the starting QB position in Cleveland.
Pickett was splitting reps with QBs Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders for the Browns’ starting spot — and despite a strong early showing at camp, the ex-Steeler will likely fight an uphill battle for the job while nursing his hamstring.
Here’s to hoping the former first-rounder can return quickly and earn the role for Cleveland — as the Week 6 revenge game, when the Browns visit Pittsburgh, hinges on Pickett under center.
