Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders did not take part in team drills on Saturday because of arm soreness, the team said.

In addition, a shoulder ailment kept cornerback Greg Newsome II out of practice, and he is considered day to day, coach Kevin Stefanski said.

Defensive end Myles Garrett also sat out Saturday for what Stefanski called precautionary reasons, and quarterback Kenny Pickett, who injured a hamstring earlier this week, took part only in individual drills.

With the absence of Sanders and Pickett from team drills, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco and rookie Dillon Gabriel shared the reps.

ESPN Cleveland reported Flacco was 11-of-18 passing and Gabriel 11-of-22, with each throwing a touchdown at practice.

On Friday, Flacco was 9-of-13 with two scores and Sanders went 7-of-10 with a touchdownl, per ESPN Cleveland.

Gabriel struggled, finishing the Friday session 3-for-14 passing with an interception.

The Browns open the preseason on Aug. 8 at the Carolina Panthers and the regular season on Sept. 7 with a home game against division rival Cincinnati.
