Browns Face QB Uncertainty Amid Sanders Injury, Starting Role Speculation

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has not yet played in the regular season due to a back injury and remains a topic of speculation regarding his potential to start. Despite being sidelined, Sanders hinted during a recent livestream that he is undergoing treatment and preparing to be "big ready," suggesting a possible upcoming opportunity to start. The Browns have continued to start Dillon Gabriel, who has struggled with a 1-3 record as a starter, leading to increased calls from fans and media for Sanders to be given a chance to invigorate an underperforming offense averaging just 15.8 points per game. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has maintained support for Gabriel but acknowledged the need to evaluate all positions, including quarterback, as the team searches for improvement. Sanders’ cryptic comments and the team's offensive struggles have fueled rumors about his future, including speculation about whether the Browns might consider trading him before the NFL trade deadline. The quarterback situation remains uncertain as Cleveland prepares to return from their bye week, with Sanders staying in Cleveland to continue his preparation.
