Shedeur Sanders gets bad news ahead of Browns' season debut

The Cleveland Browns have Shedeur Sanders as a backup, but some are wondering if he'll start at some point.

Shedeur Sanders gets bad news ahead of Browns' season debut

Just a day before the Cleveland Browns kick off their season against the Jacksonville Jaguars, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler delivered a tough message for rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Fowler, an NFL insider, spoke to ESPN's SportsCenter, explaining that the Browns have no immediate plans to start Sanders at the helm of the team. Instead, the organization is committed to a long-term approach with their current starter, Deshaun Watson.

Fowler noted that the Browns are basing their decisions on performance, similar to how they would evaluate any player in the league. They recognize that Watson is returning to football after a period away for about two years, which will likely lead to some rust. Moreover, the team is bracing for a young offense packed with rookies and second-year players, and they are optimistic about the entire operation.

While Sanders may face some booing from fans due to past situations, Fowler emphasized that the Browns are maintaining a positive outlook for the season.
