Overview
- Dillon Gabriel was evaluated for a concussion at halftime and ruled out in the third quarter, prompting Shedeur Sanders to take over with 12:43 left and Cleveland up 16-10.
- Sanders completed his first two passes to Cedric Tillman and David Njoku before an 11-yard sack by Kyle Hamilton forced a fumble that the Browns recovered.
- On a later possession, Sanders threw his first NFL interception to Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins after releasing the ball under pressure.
- Home fans had booed Gabriel in the first half and chanted for Sanders, while Kevin Stefanski this week praised Sanders’ preparation but said there was no timetable to play him and kept first-team reps limited.
- Local reporting has described internal debate about the long-term quarterback plan, with the Browns expected to evaluate both rookies down the stretch as they consider 2026 draft options.
