"When Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski turned to rookie Dillon Gabriel as the team's starting quarterback on Oct. 1, he noted that the third-round pick had received practice reps with the first-team offense as the backup to Joe Flacco. Stefanski, though, when asked Wednesday about fellow rookie and backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders' practice regimen, said the fifth-round pick is not receiving reps with the starting offense."
"Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado football coach Deion Sanders, has served as the backup to Gabriel for the last two games in the aftermath of the Browns trading Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals. Sanders served as the No. 3 and emergency quarterback for the first five games of the season. Before moving to the QB2 role, Sanders was splitting scout team reps with Gabriel and practice squad quarterback Bailey Zappe."
Kevin Stefanski turned to rookie Dillon Gabriel as the Browns' starting quarterback on Oct. 1 after Gabriel had received practice reps with the first‑team offense while backing up Joe Flacco. Fifth‑round pick Shedeur Sanders is not receiving reps with the starting offense but still receives reps in multiple periods and post‑practice sessions. Sanders served as the Browns' No. 3 and emergency quarterback for the first five games and moved to QB2 after the team traded Flacco; he previously split scout‑team reps with Gabriel and practice‑squad QB Bailey Zappe. The Browns are 1‑2 since Gabriel became starter; Gabriel has 546 yards, three touchdowns and a 30.4 Total QBR.
