Overview
- Stefanski confirmed Sanders remains without first‑team practice snaps as the staff prioritizes starter Dillon Gabriel’s reps with the top unit.
- Longtime Browns voice Tony Grossi said on ESPN Cleveland he believes Stefanski would trade Sanders if he had full control, with multiple outlets placing the rookie on pre‑deadline trade lists ahead of Nov. 4.
- Gabriel has three starts with 546 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions on 59.8% passing, while the 2–5 Browns rank near the bottom of the NFL in total offense, passing and points.
- OC Tommy Rees said both rookies are fully engaged and that coaches must help unlock more explosive passing, as beat reporters Mary Kay Cabot and Brad Stainbrook continue to report rapid practice progress for Sanders.
- Former Browns CB Joe Haden urged patience with Gabriel but said Sanders could bring needed downfield punch if losses mount, as Sanders publicly preached patience and faith in a recent message.
