Overview

• Sanders said he isn’t bothered by Dillon Gabriel’s “entertainers” line and recounted Gabriel telling him privately the comment wasn’t about him, a point Gabriel had already clarified publicly.
• Coach Kevin Stefanski set today’s rotation against the Rams: Joe Flacco starts, Gabriel follows, and Sanders closes; Kenny Pickett remains sidelined with a hamstring as Sanders returns from an oblique issue.
• The Browns named Flacco their Week 1 starter, with Sanders currently trailing Gabriel on the depth chart after limited first‑team reps.
• In his NFL debut, Sanders went 14-of-23 for 138 yards and two touchdowns before the oblique injury kept him out of preseason game two, limiting further evaluation.
• Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson’s claim that the NFL urged teams not to draft Sanders drew renewed attention, but Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer disputed any conspiracy, as local debate intensifies over whether Cleveland keeps, trades, or waives the rookie.
