Overview

• Stefanski told reporters his focus is on getting the offense to play better and repeatedly refused to name Flacco the Week 5 starter.
• Flacco has committed eight turnovers through four games and ranks last in passer rating and near the bottom in adjusted QBR after a 34-10 loss to the Lions.
• Cleveland insiders Mary Kay Cabot and Tony Rizzo say a move to rookie Dillon Gabriel is likely for the Vikings game in London, though the team has not announced a change.
• Shedeur Sanders remains the emergency third quarterback, publicly said he is ready to play, and drew sharp on-air criticism from Rex Ryan, with Stefanski declining to say if Sanders would be QB2 if Gabriel starts.
• Deshaun Watson could have his 21-day practice window opened soon as he rehabs a torn Achilles, creating a potential midseason variable for the team’s quarterback plans.
