Overview

• Quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave said Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel and Bailey Zappe all take turns running the scout team, calling Cleveland's approach different from the norm.
• Musgrave noted the scout-team choice can shift by opponent, citing efforts to mimic Joe Burrow in Week 1 and Lamar Jackson in Week 2.
• Sanders remains the Browns' emergency quarterback as the No. 3 option after being inactive in Week 1, with Joe Flacco starting and Gabriel serving as the primary backup.
• A claim from ESPN Cleveland host Tony Rizzo that Sanders was only watching practice while Zappe ran the scout team circulated widely before the team pushed back on it.
• The Athletic's Dianna Russini has reported the team does not plan to play Sanders this season unless circumstances change significantly, even as outside voices speculate about a potential midseason opportunity.
