Overview

  • Shedeur Sanders sat out the Week 2 preseason game after injuring his oblique in joint practice and is officially day-to-day.
  • Rookie Dillon Gabriel completed 13 of 18 passes for 143 yards but was flagged by an interception and a fumble in his first live action.
  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski emphasized a cautious recovery approach for Sanders given the muscle’s importance to the throwing motion.
  • Veteran Joe Flacco remains the presumptive Week 1 starter and has been rested through the early preseason to preserve his workload.
  • The Browns aim to give Sanders live reps in the preseason finale against the Rams to inform final roster and depth-chart decisions.
