Overview
- Sanders is set for his seventh career start Sunday at Cincinnati in the season finale that caps his rookie audition.
- The Browns plan to review his seven starts after the season before deciding on their 2026 quarterback direction.
- Through seven games (six starts), he has 1,289 passing yards, seven touchdowns, 10 interceptions, a 57.4% completion rate and a 68.5 passer rating.
- ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Grossi expects an open competition that includes Dillon Gabriel and possibly Deshaun Watson, while Brian Hoyer sees improvement but urges Sanders to eliminate “bad football.”
- Cleveland owns two first-round picks and is evaluating the 2026 QB class, as Sanders plays the finale without TE Harold Fannin Jr. and RB Quinshon Judkins.
