Browns Keep Shedeur Sanders as Emergency QB as Dillon Gabriel Debuts in 41-17 Loss to Ravens

Cleveland cites a detailed practice plan for the rookie, framing the emergency designation as part of his development.

Overview

  • Shedeur Sanders did not play in Week 2, serving as the Browns' No. 3 emergency quarterback in Baltimore.
  • Rookie Dillon Gabriel entered late and completed all three of his passes for 19 yards and a touchdown.
  • Starter Joe Flacco finished 25-of-45 for 199 yards with one touchdown, one interception, and a strip-sack returned for a Ravens score.
  • The 41-17 defeat at M&T Bank Stadium dropped Cleveland to 0-2 to start the season.
  • Team figures have rejected talk of a diminished role for Sanders, with Ross Tucker reporting the Browns give him 8–10 extra post-practice reps under an "airtight" plan.
