No Words From Shedeur Sanders on Remaining QB3
Shedeur Sanders remained third-string quarterback and responded silently to questions after Dillon Gabriel was named starter ahead of Sunday’s game in London.
- On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns announced Dillon Gabriel as their new starting quarterback, keeping Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders third-string behind Joe Flacco, and Sanders responded silently to reporters hours later.
- Facing criticism, Shedeur Sanders had previously said, `Of course I want to start, but my reality is I'm not going to start and that's fine because I'm able to live those reps through Joe.`
- During the brief media session, observers said lip-readers would be needed to determine what Shedeur Sanders told reporters, while some online lip-readers believed he praised Joe Flacco before a team media relations staffer ended it.

- Amid offensive struggles, the Browns have failed to score more than 17 points through four weeks, including a 34 in the Detroit defeat, and Stephen A. Smith predicts Sanders will eventually start.
