Overview
- Rookie Shedeur Sanders flew to Boulder during the bye, surprised his father Deion at Colorado and stood on the Buffaloes’ sideline days after telling fans he would remain in Cleveland for treatment.
- Sanders, who was inactive in Week 8 with a back issue, appeared in family video doing conditioning work in Colorado, including an underwater treadmill session, after coach Kevin Stefanski said he is improving daily.
- While wearing a shirt reading "The rejected will be respected," Sanders posted an Instagram video about visiting his father, a public moment that arrived as questions persist about his role in Cleveland.
- Stefanski reiterated that finding live snaps for Sanders is not the current focus and confirmed Gabriel will start after the bye despite the Browns’ 2-6 record and Gabriel’s uneven metrics, including a 1-3 mark as starter.
- With the Nov. 4 deadline approaching, former Browns star Josh Cribbs said interested teams such as the Jets would need to part with at least a second-round pick to land Sanders, a valuation reported as speculation by multiple outlets.
