In a recent announcement, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski clarified the current practice situation regarding rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. According to Stefanski, Sanders, who is in contention for the backup QB position, has not been receiving any first-team snaps during practice.
Shedeur Sanders’ Practice Role
Sanders, a talented rookie, is not yet being integrated into first-team drills. This contrasts with the experience of Dillon Gabriel, who received first-team reps when he was backing up veteran quarterback Joe Flacco.
The Backup Quarterback Dynamic
Typically, the second-string quarterback, or QB2, receives limited opportunities to take snaps with the starting lineup. This situation is part of the broader strategy as the Browns prepare for upcoming games.
- Team: Cleveland Browns
- Coach: Kevin Stefanski
- Rookie Quarterback: Shedeur Sanders
- Previous QB2: Dillon Gabriel
- Veteran QB: Joe Flacco
As the season progresses, the coaching staff may reassess Sanders’ role and opportunities within the team’s practice framework. Developing a strong backup is crucial for the team’s overall performance and success in the league.
