Browns Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders Awaits NFL Debut as Team Struggles

As of November 11th, 2025, the Cleveland Browns are facing growing pressure from fans to start rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski has been evasive when asked about when the fifth-round pick will make his first official NFL appearance.

During a press conference on Monday, Stefanski was questioned about Sanders' potential debut, but he declined to provide a clear answer. This has only fueled the growing impatience among Browns supporters, who are eager to see the young quarterback in action.

The Browns' recent 27-20 loss to the New York Jets has only added to the frustration. The defeat was particularly embarrassing, as it came against a team that was supposedly in rebuilding mode after trading away several star defenders. To make matters worse, the Browns' special teams unit struggled mightily, with consecutive return touchdowns by the Jets in the first quarter.

Despite these special teams mishaps, Stefanski has expressed unwavering faith in his coordinator, Bubba Ventrone. The head coach acknowledged that the team needs to perform better in this area, but he remains confident in Ventrone's abilities.

As the Browns prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday, the focus will likely remain on Shedeur Sanders and when he will finally get his chance to start. Stefanski's reluctance to address the issue has only heightened the anticipation and speculation among the team's passionate fan base.
