The Browns are open to using Sanders as their starting quarterback for the rest of the 2025 season, depending on how he fares during his ensuing starts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Sanders made his first NFL start in the Browns' Week 12 win over the Raiders, completing11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He drew the start for that game after Dillon Gabriel was placed in concussion protocol following Cleveland's Week 11 loss to Baltimore. Despite Gabriel clearing the protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Sanders will retain the starting job, and the former could be in line to hang on to the job for the balance of the season.
