Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will remain the team’s starter heading into Week 14, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Sunday. Sanders is set to lead the offense for the third straight game when the Browns face the Tennessee Titans next Sunday.
The announcement follows two previous starts by Sanders, who stepped into the starting role due to injuries at the quarterback position. While the Browns have not released detailed assessments of his performances, Sanders has shown poise under center and has managed the offense effectively during a crucial stretch of the season.
A first-year player out of Colorado, Sanders took over the reins after the team faced setbacks in its quarterback depth chart. His leadership and decision-making have drawn attention from coaches and teammates alike, contributing to the team’s efforts during the playoff push. Although Sanders is still adapting to the rigors of the NFL, Stefanski expressed confidence in the young quarterback’s development and readiness to lead the team.
“Shedeur has done a nice job preparing and executing our game plans,” Stefanski said. “We’ll continue to build on that heading into Tennessee.”
With several key games remaining in the regular season, Cleveland aims to maintain momentum, and Stefanski believes consistency at the quarterback position can help achieve that. The matchup against the Titans provides Sanders another opportunity to gain valuable experience against a competitive defense.
The Browns have not indicated whether Sanders will remain the long-term starter beyond Week 14, but for now, the team is focused on navigating the immediate challenge and supporting Sanders in his role.
Game time and further details regarding the Browns’ Week 14 matchup will be announced later in the week. Cleveland enters the matchup looking to solidify its position in the playoff race.
