Pickett (hamstring) remains limited but took part in team drills at practice Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Pickett saw 11-on-11 reps for the first time since July 26, as his lingering hamstring injury had kept him sidelined. Coach Kevin Stefanski has named Joe Flacco the Week 1 starter for the Browns, but he said Tuesday that a decision on the No. 2 QB role hasn't yet been made, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. If Pickett can gain full clearance in time to suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams, it will provide him with a chance to compete with rookies Shedeur Sanders (oblique) and Dillon Gabriel for the top backup spot. Tyler Huntley may also take the field Saturday, but he's expected to be cut when Cleveland finalizes its 53-man roster.
