Browns Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders Sidelined by Injury in Preseason Clash
16 Aug
Summary
- Shedeur Sanders injured during joint practice with Eagles
- Sanders listed 4th on Browns' QB depth chart
- Browns' preseason finale set for August 23
In a surprising turn of events, Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will not be taking any snaps in Week 2 of the preseason. Sanders, who had taken the sports world by storm with his impressive performance in his preseason debut, sustained an injury during a joint practice with the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week.
The young signal-caller made the trip to Philadelphia with the Browns on Tuesday and participated in the joint practice on Wednesday. However, he sustained a strained oblique early in the practice session and was held out for the remainder of the day and the entirety of Thursday's practice. As a result, Sanders will be sidelined for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Eagles.
Ahead of the Week 2 preseason game, Sanders was listed fourth on the Browns' quarterback depth chart, behind veterans Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel. The team's preseason finale is scheduled for August 23 against the Rams, and it remains to be seen whether Sanders will be able to return to the field in time for that game.
