Overview

  • Coaches plan increased snaps for Shedeur Sanders against the Rams in the preseason finale after he returned from an oblique issue.
  • The Browns set Saturday’s rotation with Joe Flacco starting, Dillon Gabriel next, and Sanders closing, while Kenny Pickett sits with a hamstring injury.
  • Flacco has been named the Week 1 starter against the Bengals, and the rest of the depth chart will be finalized as roster cuts approach.
  • Sanders’ preseason debut featured 138 passing yards and two touchdowns, though he missed the second game with the injury and has had limited first-team reps.
  • Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson claimed the NFL told teams not to draft Sanders, a contention disputed by insider Albert Breer; owner Jimmy Haslam said GM Andrew Berry made the call to select him at No. 144.
