Overview
- ESPN confirmed a break-in at Sanders’ residence during Sunday’s game against the Ravens, which Pro Football Talk first reported.
- Sanders replaced Dillon Gabriel, who entered concussion protocol, and went 4-of-16 for 47 yards with one interception in a 23-16 loss.
- Kevin Stefanski said Sanders would start next week only if Gabriel does not clear protocol, while cleveland.com reports he is expected to face the Raiders with Bailey Zappe as backup and Deshaun Watson not designated to return.
- It remains unclear whether anything was taken from Sanders’ home and investigators have not identified suspects.
- The incident follows a string of athlete home burglaries cited by the FBI, which has warned about organized theft groups using tactics such as bypassing alarms and deploying Wi‑Fi jammers; analysts also criticized the Browns’ limited first-team reps for Sanders, who said he “didn’t play good.”
