Shedeur Sanders had an excellent first start in the preparatory games. He gained points, but he could also lose some soon with an unfortunate injury.
The quarterback was injured in practice for the Cleveland Browns, and it would be very surprising to see him on the field against the Eagles on Saturday. With the son of the legendary Deion Sanders in a battle for a starting job with the Browns, this oblique injury comes at a very bad time
With the warm-up game against the Eagles just days away, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski offered Shedeur Sanders more reps in practice this week.
Despite this increase in practice time, the young quarterback officially remains fourth on the team's roster.
Stefanski is still refusing to reveal his intentions for Saturday's game in Philadelphia. Under the original plan, veteran Joe Flacco was to get a large share of the offensive snaps.
However, recent injuries to Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel have upset the planned organization, forcing the coaching staff to re-evaluate the distribution of snaps.
Sanders in the spotlight at practice
On Monday, young quarterback Sanders was used the most in offensive drills, a sign that the team may want to test him more in a game setting. Although his official position remains unchanged for the time being, this emphasis could open the door to a more prominent role, especially if the health problems among the other quarterbacks persist.
Stefanski's final decision could depend on the evolution of the injuries and the performance of the quarters during the week, leaving suspense hanging until kick-off against Philadelphia.
