Overview
- Kevin Stefanski declined to commit to Joe Flacco for Week 5 in London, with reporting from Cleveland.com indicating Dillon Gabriel is likely to get the start.
- Flacco has eight turnovers through four games and ranks last among qualified quarterbacks with a 60.3 passer rating as Cleveland has failed to top 17 points in any game.
- Gabriel, a third-round pick, has served as the No. 2 and logged brief relief snaps, and Stefanski would not say who would be the backup if a switch occurs.
- Shedeur Sanders remains the emergency third quarterback after being inactive in Week 4; he said he is ready to play as Rex Ryan publicly criticized his approach on ESPN.
- Stefanski said receivers Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) will miss multiple weeks, and the prospective starter will face a Vikings pass defense ranked third as the team heads to London.
