Overview

• Shedeur Sanders went 3-of-6 for 14 yards with five sacks against the Rams and was replaced before the two‑minute, game-winning drive led by Tyler Huntley.
• Hours later, Cleveland released Huntley, and multiple reports say the Browns intend to keep Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Sanders on the initial 53-man roster.
• Head coach Kevin Stefanski rejected claims the team is undermining Sanders, saying he is committed to the rookie’s development just like the others.
• Sanders said he is confident he will make the roster, acknowledged frustration over not getting the final drive, and posted that he will keep learning “day by day, rep by rep.”
• Former QBs Derek Carr and Kurt Warner questioned the benching, and analytics highlighted Sanders’ hold-the-ball tendency, including a sack taken after 6.13 seconds and a rare five sacks on fewer than 15 dropbacks; separately, his brother Shilo was waived by the Buccaneers.
