Stefanski noted that Pocic and Pickett could be ready to play in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. TE Blake Whiteheart also has a chance to play at the start of the season, according to Stefanski. DE Julian Okwara is “dealing with a rib injury,” but Cleveland’s head coach didn’t have any more information on the severity.
While the quarterbacks continue to be the bulk of the conversation (including what our Tom Moore described as “daft”), Stefanski is not ready to name a primary backup quarterback.
