Overview
- Head coach Kevin Stefanski made the move official Monday, citing Sanders’ steady improvement and work ethic.
- Against the Titans, Sanders went 23-of-42 for 364 yards with three passing touchdowns, one interception and a rushing score.
- He became just the second rookie since at least 1970 to post 350-plus passing yards, three-plus passing TDs and a rushing TD in one game.
- Deshaun Watson has returned to practice, but Stefanski reiterated Sanders will remain the starter the rest of the season.
- Stefanski’s late two-point decisions, including removing Sanders for the final attempt in the 31-29 loss, drew scrutiny as the 3-10 Browns prioritize evaluation that could inform 2026 draft plans.
