Overview

  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Shedeur Sanders will dress as the Browns' No. 2 quarterback in Week 10, with Dillon Gabriel remaining the starter.
  • Sanders has yet to take a regular-season snap for Cleveland after being drafted in April.
  • Gabriel is 1-3 as a starter with two interceptions, one of the league’s lowest quarterback ratings, and the Browns failed to reach 20 points in three of his four starts.
  • Sanders returns to the active roster after missing Week 8 because of a back issue.
  • Ahead of the second half against the Jets, Hindustan Times reported Gabriel’s solid first half (11-of-23, 125 yards, one touchdown) made a Sanders appearance seem unlikely.
