Overview
- Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sanders will start the final four games, citing steady improvement from the fifth-round pick who rose from deep on the depth chart.
- Sanders is coming off a career-best outing vs. Tennessee, going 23-of-42 for 364 yards with three touchdown passes, one interception and a rushing score in a 31-29 loss.
- Stefanski removed Sanders for the Browns’ last two-point try against the Titans and later took responsibility for the call after the failed attempt.
- Cleveland is 3-10 and out of playoff contention, turning these starts into an audition that could determine whether the team drafts a quarterback in 2026 or builds around Sanders with its two first-round picks.
- Injuries continue to batter the offensive line, with starting center Ethan Pocic out for the season with a torn Achilles and a ninth different line combination expected next week.
