Browns QB Shedeur Sanders continues to give back to Cleveland community
After a tragic explosion and fire at the Rainbow Terrance Apartments in Cleveland's Garden Valley last month that displaced 40 families, Sanders stepped up to help bring a sense of normalcy back to the community. As first reported by WEWS' Camryn Justice, Sanders hosted the Garden Valley Fun Fest on Wednesday, providing free refreshments and entertainment.
Here is what Sanders shared about why he decided to get involved:
Since being selected by the Browns in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders has made a habit of giving back to the Cleveland area; this week's event comes after Sanders made an appearance at a local youth football camp last month and spoke to students at a Cleveland-area high school in April.
While Sanders' character was under the microscope before and after April's draft, his penchant for supporting and engaging with the city of Cleveland has painted him in an endearing light, and is a positive reflection on the Browns' signal-caller.

Guardians' bats stay hot with 6-3 win over Orioles
CLEVELAND (AP) — Angel Martínez had three hits, José Ramírez homered and the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 Tuesday night for their fourth win in five games since the All-Star break. Kyle Manzardo and Bryan Rocchio each drove in a pair of runs as the Guardians have won 10 of 12 after a 10-game losing streak to get back to .500 at 50-50. Ramón Laureano went deep in the sixth inning for the Orioles, who have dropped four of five since the break. Ramirez drove a 94.4 mile fastball near the top of the strike zone into the right-field seats off Baltimore's Brandon Young (0-5) in the first inning. Seven of Ramirez's 21 homers have come in the last 12 games. Cleveland starter Joey Cantillo (2-0) did not allow a hit until the fifth inning, when Ramón Urías led off with a base hit down the left-field line. The left-hander allowed one run and two hits in five innings with four walks and five strikeouts. Emmanuel Clase got the last three outs for his 22nd save. Key moment Rocchio's sacrifice bunt in the seventh inning brought home Nolan Jones and extended Cleveland's lead to 6-3. Rocchio is 6 for 17 with seven RBIs on the homestand. Key stat Cleveland has 21 homers in its last 12 games, tied with Oakland for the most in the majors since July 7. The Guardians have gone deep in 12 straight games, its longest run since it had a franchise-record, 20-game streak in 2021. Up next Orioles RHP Zach Eflin (6-5, 5.95 ERA) goes against Guardians RHP Slade Cecconi (5-4, 3.84 ERA) on Wednesday. ___ AP MLB: Joe Reedy, The Associated Press

Browns place Deshaun Watson on physically unable to perform list
The Cleveland Browns have placed quarterback Deshaun Watson on the active – physically unable to perform (PUP) list for the start of training camp. The expected designation came Tuesday as the full squad reported for the start of camp. Watson suffered a second Achilles tear in January while rehabbing from the Achilles injury he suffered last October in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Advertisement Though an exact timetable for medical clearance is unknown, the Browns have long known that Watson would not be ready for the start of camp or the start of the 2025 season. Players on the active-PUP list count against the 90-man roster during training camp and can be activated any time, but Watson's expected rehab schedule extends beyond this summer. It's unknown if the Browns would activate Watson at any point during this season. In March, team owner Jimmy Haslam acknowledged the franchise's disastrous 2022 trade for Watson by saying the Browns 'took a big swing and miss' on acquiring Watson in a package that included three first-round picks. 'We thought we had a quarterback and we didn't,' Haslam said. The Browns still have a huge financial commitment to Watson, who counts just under $36 million on the team's 2025 salary cap and is scheduled to count for just over $80 million in 2026. The Browns have reworked Watson's contract multiple times to lower his cap numbers and could do so again after this season. The team could also work on a formal release ahead of 2026, though it's too early to know how things might play out. Watson is signed through 2026 and, under the current contract structure, is set to count on the team's cap through 2029. For now, he's almost certain to start the regular season on the PUP list and the Browns can make further determinations around midseason. Watson has started 19 games over three seasons with the Browns. He was limited to six games in 2022 after serving an 11-game suspension for violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy, and each of his last two seasons has been ended by injury and subsequent surgeries. Watson has completed 61 percent of his passes in a Cleveland uniform, and the Browns are 9-10 in games he's started. Wednesday's start of full camp marks the beginning of the final stage of the Browns' four-man competition for the starting quarterback job. Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco are the veteran candidates in a completely remade quarterback room that also includes 2025 draft picks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The Browns also placed defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. (knee) on the PUP list and wide receiver David Bell (hip) on the active/non-football injury list. Hall and Bell are expected to be activated at some point during training camp.
