Cleveland Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett will not play in the team's preseason finale on Saturday, Aug. 23.

Fantasy Impact

Pickett, who was expected to compete for the QB1 job with veteran Joe Flacco, never really got a shot due to a hamstring injury that has kept him out/limited throughout training camp and out all preseason. It's still possible he could be traded or released, as the Browns are facing a decision with four QBs they will want to whittle down to 2-3. However, right now, his future in Cleveland is uncertain.
