Overview

• Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Sanders and veteran Tyler Huntley were the only quarterbacks to play in the Browns’ opener after Flacco sat out and Pickett and Gabriel were kept off the field with hamstring injuries.
• Sanders logged roughly 50 plays with Cleveland’s second- and third-team offense, marking his first extended game action since entering camp as the fourth-string passer.
• On his fourth drive, Sanders connected with Kaden Davis for a 7-yard touchdown, his first in NFL action and a highlight of the preseason opener.
• The debut touchdown drew widespread attention online, including a “Yes Lawd!” post from Deion Sanders and a surge of fan engagement on social media.
• In New York, coach Brian Daboll has yet to decide on starter participation for Saturday’s Bills game as veterans like Russell Wilson and Darius Slayton advocate for live preseason reps.
