The Cleveland Browns are promoting rookie fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders to backup quarterback for Sunday’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After not discussing the QB2 situation on Tuesday following the surprising trade of previous backup Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Browns are leaning on Sanders to handle the role.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski informed reporters Friday of his decision to put Sanders in the QB2 role, according to a tweet from ESPN Browns reporter Daniel Oyefusi.
Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders will back up Dillon Gabriel in Sunday's game against the Steelers, per Kevin Stefanski.
