Dillon Gabriel's hamstring is latest addition to Browns' quarterback injury questions
The latest? Try rookie Dillon Gabriel, who coach Kevin Stefanski announced Aug. 4 was battling a hamstring injury.
Stefanski mentioned Gabriel's injury prior to the Browns' 10th training camp practice. He said the rookie third-round pick out of Oregon was going to be limited in what he could do in practice.
"He will be limited," Stefanski said. He'll be in some drills."
Fourth-year pro Kenny Pickett remains limited for the third consecutive practice with the hamstring injury he sustained July 26. Rookie fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders is returning to practice after sitting out teams drills Aug. 2 after complaining about arm soreness during individual drills.
The only quarterback to not have missed any training camp time due to some kind of injury issue? The 40-year-old Joe Flacco.
Based on the injuries at the position, it could be that Flacco ends up having to play in the Aug. 6 preseason opener along with the playing time he was expected to get in the joint practice Aug. 8. Stefanski wasn't going to say for certain.
"I'll wait to discuss those type of things later," Stefanski said. "But yeah, Joe's ready to go if we need him."
Carolina coach Dave Canales has already said the Panthers plan on playing their starters in Friday's opener. Stefanski said the Browns would "hold some players out," but did say some regulars were expected to play.
This is a developing story. Check back here for updates.

McMenamin: LeBron James is still monitoring the Lakers' moves
Ever since LeBron James opted into the final season of his contract in late June, there has been lots of speculation about his immediate future with the Los Angeles Lakers. That speculation stemmed from a statement his agent, Rich Paul, gave to ESPN that stated, in part, that the two "want to evaluate what's best" for the superstar moving forward. James is 40 years of age and is headed toward his record 23rd season in the NBA. It does appear he will start the new season as a member of the Lakers, but what happens afterward with him is anyone's guess, especially now that the franchise revolves around Luka Doncic, who just agreed to a three-year contract extension. ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported that James is supportive of Doncic being with the team, but that the four-time MVP is still looking at what the team will do to build a championship-caliber roster (at 10:42). "I'm told that the statement that Rich Paul gave to Shams Charania back in June when LeBron opted in still stands," McMenamin said. "LeBron and his representatives will be monitoring the Lakers' moves that they make, because they recognize that there's only a very limited amount of time left in his career and he wants to be competing for championships, whatever time that is." It has been rumored that James and his camp have been unhappy that the Lakers are now catering to Doncic and not James. However, Charania also reported that James is supportive of this shift. With Doncic now under contract for at least the next three years, Los Angeles can fully shift its focus to building a championship team around both superstars. Once James leaves, there's no telling how long it will take the team to find another star to put alongside Doncic, and therefore, now is the time for it to go for its 18th NBA championship, especially since Doncic made it clear that he wants to get a ring now.

Friedl hits a tiebreaking single in the 7th inning as the Reds edge the Cubs 3-2
CHICAGO (AP) — TJ Friedl hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning, and the Cincinnati Reds held off the Chicago Cubs for a 3-2 win on Monday night. Tyler Stephenson homered for Cincinnati, and Elly De La Cruz had an RBI double. The Reds (59-54) had dropped four of six. Dansby Swanson hit his 17th homer for the Cubs (65-47), who fell three games behind NL Central-leading Milwaukee. With two outs and runners on the corners in the seventh, Friedl drove in Jake Fraley with a looper into center field against Caleb Thielbar. Ryan Brasier (0-1) got the loss. The Cubs threatened in the bottom half, advancing Willi Castro to third with two down. Swanson then hit a chopper to third and was ruled safe. The Reds challenged, and the call was overturned when a replay review showed Swanson missed the bag initially as he crossed first base.
