The Cleveland Browns will start Shedeur Sanders at quarterback next week against the San Francisco 49ers despite Dillon Gabriel clearing the concussion protocol.
Sanders led the Browns to a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown against one interception in his first NFL start.
The Browns had lost 17 straight games with a quarterback making his first career start at quarterback until Sanders.
The Browns picked Sanders in the fifth round out of Colorado after he was initially expected to be a first round selection in the 2025 NFL draft.
