Set to back up Smith Pickett (hamstring) was traded from the Browns to the Raiders on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

Impact The Browns had a logam at quarterback, while the Raiders recently lost their projected backup, Aidan O'Connell (wrist,) for at least six weeks. That makes this trade logical for both sides, with Pickett now in line to back up Geno Smith for the Raiders, assuming he is healthy enough to suit up in Week 1. While Pickett has been a disappointment given his first-round pedigree, he should be servicable relative to other backups if called upon.

Impact Pickett did not play in any of the Browns' three preseason games due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in late July. He's on track to be available for Week 1, but his role (if healthy) remains to be seen. Joe Flacco has been named as the Browns' starting quarterback for the start of the regular season, but the backup job is a three-way competition between Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. If healthy, Pickett's experience should give him the inside edge on Gabriel and Sanders for the QB2 job in Week 1.

Kenny Pickett participates in some 11-on-11 drills | News & Notes Shedeur Sanders suits up but did not practice as works through oblique strain

AUGUST 19 • CLEVELANDBROWNS.COM

Takes part in 11-on-11 drills Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Pickett (hamstring) remains limited but took part in team drills at practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Pickett took part in 11-on-11 reps for the first time since July 26, as his lingering hamstring injury had held him out of not only preseason action, but also team drills at practice. Stefanski has named Joe Flacco the Week 1 starter, but said Tuesday that a decision on the No. 2 role hasn't yet been made, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. If Pickett can gain full clearance in time to suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams, it will provide him a chance to compete with rookies Shedeur Sanders (oblique) and Dillon Gabriel for the top backup spot. Tyler Huntley may also take the field Saturday, but he's expected to be cut when Cleveland finalizes the 53-man roster.
