Overview

• Kevin Stefanski named Shedeur Sanders the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday in Pittsburgh behind rookie starter Dillon Gabriel.
• Bailey Zappe remained on the practice squad and was not elevated to the 53-man roster for the game.
• A fifth-round pick, Sanders had been the emergency QB3 through five games and has not taken a regular-season snap, with coaches describing him as a developing player showing steady improvement.
• Cleveland traded Joe Flacco to the Bengals earlier in the week after a 1-3 start with him under center, moving fully to a rookie-led depth chart.
• The Browns continued to assess depth by working out former Bears quarterback Austin Reed, while Deshaun Watson stays on the PUP list rehabbing an Achilles injury.
