Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Sends Clear Message on His Future
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders took to social media with an extended message as the conversation about his future in the NFL continues to buzz.
Sanders has been relatively quiet in recent weeks since being named the backup to Dillon Gabriel. He previously served as the No. 3 quarterback behind both then-starter Joe Flacco and Gabriel.
Sanders’ latest message emphasized that he is not concerned with the timing of things, but rather trusts in his faith.
“The greatest lesson I’ve learned through it all is not to worry but to lean on and trust GOD in every situation. Even when I don’t know what to do, I’ve learned that GOD will always guide me. I live stress-free because I know that, no matter what, GOD has the final say over my life,” Sanders said.

“I’m able to persevere through trials because I come from a family built on morals, values, and unshakable principles. Growing up, I had access to a lot, and maybe without my understanding shaped my world view, but I’ve realized that peace, purpose, and faith can’t be bought. They have to be built. True success is who you become while waiting on GOD’s timing. GOD’s pace protects what your purpose will one day require.”
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Not Getting First-Team Reps
Practice reps have become a key talking point surrounding Sanders. Unlike Gabriel —who received first-team snaps when Flacco was the starter — Sanders has yet to get those same opportunities. Head coach Kevin Stefanski explained that the decision comes down to development priorities.
“I mean with a young quarterback, with Dillon starting, you want to make sure he gets a lot of reps,” Stefanski said. “Different when you have a veteran like Joe (Flacco), but still getting reps in a bunch of periods.”
As Sanders said, he’s being patient. After Flacco was traded, he said his focus would be on supporting Gabriel in his role and being ready if his number was called.
“We’re going to make sure we do everything we can to make sure Dillon is ready for the game,” Sanders said ahead of Week 6. “So each and every day, even when Joe (Flacco) was the starter, everything. Prepare the right way and be ready to know that you could get out there any point in time. So, I’m overly confident within myself. I know when I first got here, I’m ready to play, but it’s up to the coaches and whatever decision they make, then I’m fine with.”
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Making Progress
There is a feeling around Cleveland that Sanders will eventually get his chance. Gabriel has done little to cement himself as the starter through three starts. He’s gone 1-2 but failing to provide a spark for the struggling offense. The Browns scored 31 points against the Dolphins in a blowout win on Sunday but Gabriel passed for just 116 and no touchdowns.
Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com recently gave some telling insight on Sanders and his progress.
“In practice, Shedeur Sanders has been making a ton of progress,” Cabot said on the “Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show” on Tuesday. “He looks really good. I’ve been saying this over and over again: If you put Shedeur and Dillon Gabriel side by side, or one after the other in a seven-on-seven red zone drill, I think that Shedeur would probably win that drill much of the time, or if you put ’em up against each other in a pockets drills where you’re throwing the ball into the little pockets in the net, I think Shedeur would win that a lot of the time.
“The reviews I’m hearing from inside the building are really, really good on Shedeur’s progress right now. But I still think they want to give Dillon some time. Now, he’s got to make some points out there, he’s gotta produce and generate some touchdown passes, but, for now, I think the status quo will be maintained.”
The Browns face the New England Patriots this week with a chance to move to 3-5.
Saints' Week 3 Crisis: Chase Young’s Potential Absence Could Derail Their Momentum
The New Orleans Saints are entering Week 3 with their backs against the wall. As they prepare for a crucial matchup, the team is grappling with the very real possibility of missing two key starters due to injury concerns. Among them is defensive force
After failing to participate in Thursday’s practice, Young was officially labeled "highly doubtful" for the upcoming clash. With his dynamic presence on the line, the Saints' defense, which has been pivotal to their early season success, could face serious disruption. The impact would extend beyond just one player—if Young doesn’t suit up, the Saints will be forced to lean heavily on their depth, something that may not hold up against a high-octane offense.
For head coach Dennis Allen, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With their eyes set on a playoff run, the Saints need to adapt quickly and remain competitive even if key figures like Young are sidelined. His leadership on the field has been a beacon of hope for a unit that's been slowly but surely gaining momentum. The pressure is now on for the team to prove they can overcome adversity.
With the clock ticking, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the Saints handle this crisis. The next few days will reveal if they can rise above the challenge or if they’ll falter under the weight of their injuries. Either way, Week 3 is shaping up to be a make-or-break moment for the Saints’ season.
