• Sanders remains Cleveland’s third-string, inactive emergency quarterback and has yet to take a regular-season snap.
• Head coach Kevin Stefanski reaffirmed Joe Flacco as the Week 4 starter against the Lions, with fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel holding the No. 2 role.
• Gabriel logged brief late-game action in Week 2 and completed all three passes for a touchdown, reinforcing his position ahead of Sanders on the depth chart.
• Deion Sanders publicly backed his son’s approach and predicted he will get a chance this season, as media figures including Skip Bayless weighed in on the situation.
