Shedeur Sanders Is Not Taking Any Snaps With The Browns First Team Offense

Kevin Stefanski has made it clear—Shedeur Sanders will not participate in first-team practice repetitions, and there’s a reason behind this decision. Stefanski emphasizes the necessity of extensive practice for rookie quarterbacks, particularly with Dillon Gabriel at the helm. “With a young quarterback like Dillon starting, you want to ensure he gets ample reps,” noted Stefanski, highlighting the contrast to a seasoned player like Joe Flacco.Gabriel, a rookie himself, has taken over as the Browns' starting quarterback, holding a record of 1-2 while throwing three touchdowns without any interceptions. Although his 59.8% completion rate leaves room for improvement, it does surpass Flacco's 58.1% during his four starts before the Bengals trade.While Sanders awaits his chance—whether for game days or during practice—Stefanski assures that he is still engaging in various drills, albeit not with the primary offense. “Still getting reps in a bunch of periods,” he confirmed. For now, Sanders' role is to remain ready.
