The coach of the Cleveland Browns, Kevin Stefanski, has made his decision on who will support Joe Flacco in the Quarterback this season, and it is not Shedeur Sanders.

On the other hand, the rookie recruited two rounds before, Dillon Gabriel, has been named the support of Flacco, 41, in week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In turn, Stefanski said that Sanders, who was taken in the fifth round by the Browns in April, will serve as the third emergency quartback to start the year.

Stefanski talked about the decision to go with Gabriel about Sanders to start the year.

“It’s such a comprehensive evaluation,” he told reporters. “Everything the boys did in the games was important, but we also saw many of them here in practice. How are they in their trade, and [Gabriel] It is certainly someone who believes is improving and better. “

The decision was between Gabriel and Sanders after Cleveland made decisive movements of Mariscal de Campo before finishing his list of 53 men on Tuesday before the deadline of ET of the 4 pm of the league.

First, veteran Tyler “Snoop” Huntley was renounced, and the Browns followed him by exchanging Kenny Pickett to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders were desperate for support after Aidan O’Connell, who was ready to play behind Geno Smith to start the season, suffered a fractured doll during the team’s pre -season end.

With huntley and pickett missing, the Browns stayed with Flacco, Gabriel and Sanders. Deshaun Watson is still recovering from a torn Achilles and it was never expected to be an option to start in 2025.

Initially, Sanders strengthened his case for a higher place in the depth table of the field marshal with an impressive preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers, completing 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns, along with four hawths for 19 yards.

The injury kept him out of the second game of the team, but returned in the second half of the end against the Rams, where he fought, ending only 3 of 6 for 14 yards while taking five catches.

Gabriel, after missing the first preseason game with an injury in the hamstrings, played in the last two preseason clashes. He completed 25 of 37 passes for 272 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Against the Rams, it was 12 of 19 for 129 yards and launched its lonely Touchdown of the preseason.

The depth graphs often change for a season, and although Sanders is QB3 at this time, he has made the list of 53 men and can become a player of potential impact on the future.
