Shedeur Sanders Makes NFL Debut After Dillon Gabriel’s Concussion as Browns’ QB Questions Deepen

Gabriel’s head injury places his Week 12 availability in doubt, pressing Cleveland to decide whether the rookie gets his first start.

Overview

  • Gabriel was evaluated at halftime and ruled out with a concussion, prompting Sanders to enter early in the third quarter to a loud home ovation.
  • Sanders completed his first two throws to Cedric Tillman and David Njoku before an 11-yard sack by Kyle Hamilton led to a fumble that Cleveland recovered.
  • Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins intercepted Sanders on his next series, and Hamilton drew notice for mimicking Sanders’ wrist celebration after the sack.
  • Sanders finished 4-of-16 for 47 yards with one interception, two sacks and a fumble in a 23-16 loss to Baltimore, per local postgame tallies.
  • Drafted 144th overall and elevated to QB2 after Joe Flacco was traded, Sanders saw limited first-team reps as the Browns prioritized Gabriel, leaving next week’s starter dependent on concussion protocol outcomes.
