Despite being named the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2025 season, Joe Flacco knows his job isn't completely safe.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski refused during a Zoom call Aug. 17 to announce a decision on who the team's starting quarterback will be for the Sept. 7 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.

While Schefter sounded definitive in his reporting, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Sunday that it's "not realistic" to keep four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.
