Shedeur Sanders Has Officially Been Called Out By The Browns
Shedeur Sanders has officially been called out by the Cleveland Browns for his off-the-field behavior.
The fifth round NFL Draft pick is no lock to make the team. Sanders, one of two quarterbacks drafted by the Browns - Oregon's Dillon Gabriel being the other - has had a couple of off-the-field incidents so far. He has reportedly twice been pulled over for speeding, once going around 100 MPH.
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry officially called out the young quarterback while speaking to the media at training camp earlier in the week.
The Browns admitted that what Sanders has been doing is "not smart."
Berry didn't hold back when discussing Sanders' off-the-field incidents.
"Not smart. Just not smart," Berry said. "It's something that we've addressed with him. Look, he understands the implications, he understands the consequences. It's not just about yourself. It's not just about having a joyride, but that you could injure other people. … A deer or something cuts in front of you, your reaction time, it's just dangerous."
Sanders, meanwhile, has said that he's learned his lesson. He won't be driving fast anymore.
"Yeah, I definitely learned not to drive fast at all," Sanders told reporters. "So I really don't even drive that much anymore. But I really don't drive fast at all. So I definitely follow the rules and I hope everybody learned from my situation, you know that not drive fast at all."
Sanders was first cited on June 5 for driving 91 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. Less than two weeks later, he was cited for driving 101 MPH in a 60 MPH zone.
The rookie NFL quarterback settled both tickets, paying more than $500 in fines and court fees.
Sanders promises that he's learned his lesson from the two speeding incidents.

Mets prospect Nolan McLean strikes out seven batters in latest Triple-A start
Mets pitching prospect Nolan McLean continues to impress with another quality outing on Tuesday night. Pitching for Triple-A Syracuse, McLean allowed just one hit on three walks (and one HBP) across 5.2 scoreless innings while striking out seven batters against the Charlotte Knights. He generated 15 swing and misses while topping out at 97.3 mph. McLean kept the Knights off balance and cruised with the fourth inning being his only high-leverage situation. In that inning, McLean allowed a two-out walk to Andre Lipcius and Bryan Ramos followed with a single. But the right-hander bounced back with a strikeout on seven pitches. McLean would be one batter shy of getting through six innings, but a two-out walk to Will Robertson forced Syracuse to pull McLean after 96 pitches (58 strikes) thrown. Mets reliever Huascar Brazoban was called to relieve McLean and struck out Lipcius to get through the sixth and end McLean's night. Entering Tuesday's start, McLean has been terrific, tossing 104.0 innings split between Double-A Binghamton and Syracuse while posting a 2.60 ERA and 1.14 WHIP while striking out 113 batters. With the Mets in potential need of some arms down the stretch, McLean -- and fellow prospect Brandon Sproat -- could be in play for a call-up. If McLean continues to pitch like this, he may leave the Mets with little choice but to call him up, especially the way the current major league starters are unable to give the team length.

Mariners says pitcher Bryce Miller, outfielder Victor Robles nearing return from injuries
SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller and outfielder Victor Robles are getting closer to returning from injuries. General Manager Justin Hollander updated the players' progress Tuesday ahead of the Mariners' series opener against the Chicago White Sox. Miller (2-5) has been dealing with right elbow inflammation and will make his second rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Tacoma. Hollander said the right-hander likely need another start before returning. 'No matter how much Bryce begs for that to be the last one,' Hollander said. 'Stuff looked top of the scale. He told me that was the best he's felt, including day one of spring training.' Robles has been out since an April after dislocating his left shoulder while making a play and being carted off the field. Hollander said Robles is expected to start his rehab assignment Aug. 12. He is batting .273 with three RBIs in 44 at-bats this season. 'The first couple of days will be DH days, mixed in outfield days,' Hollander said. 'Replicate spring training all over again.' Infielder Ryan Bliss is aiming for a rehab assignment in September, and utilityman Luke Raley, put on the 10-day IL on July 27, started hitting progression Tuesday and could join the team as early as this weekend against Tampa Bay. Hollander also said reliever Trent Thornton had successful surgery for an Achilles injury and will take six to eight months to recover. ___ AP MLB:
