Joe Flacco is expected to start that game, but the Browns would like to see their young quarterbacks, Sanders and Dillon Gabriel (hamstring) get some playing time as well. It remains to be seen if Kenny Pickett (hamstring) will be ready for action next week.

Browns rookie Dillon Gabriel clarified a comment he made that was taken as a slight toward fellow rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Sanders, a projected 2025 first-round pick who didn't come off the board until the 144th pick in the fifth round, thrived against the Carolina Panthers last week: He threw for 138 yards and two touchdowns on 14 of 23 passing while also adding 19 yards rushing on four carries.
