Overview
- Shedeur Sanders was named Cleveland’s starter for the remainder of the season after three encouraging starts, including a 364-yard, four-touchdown breakout that earned Rookie of the Week.
- Dillon Gabriel went 1-5 as the starter with 937 passing yards, seven total touchdowns and two interceptions before a Week 11 concussion opened the door for Sanders.
- Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot reports the team intends to keep Gabriel on his rookie deal and continue developing him in a backup or No. 3 role.
- Head coach Kevin Stefanski praised Sanders’ work ethic and said in-game reps are driving his early progress.
- Cleveland holds two first-round picks next year, leaving open the option to pursue a long-term answer at quarterback despite Sanders’ current role.
