What happened: Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Travis Switzer addressed Shedeur Sanders' handling of the backup quarterback role following Wednesday's practice. Switzer noted Sanders performed well during workouts as the team manages its quarterback rotation.

Why it matters: Cleveland continues to evaluate quarterback depth while preparing for a Week 9 road matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The coaching staff could prepare Shedeur Sanders to start if starter Deshaun Watson remains sidelined.

By the numbers: Sanders has completed 3 of 3 passes for 2 yards in 2026 through two games.

What to watch: Cleveland finalizes its game-week injury designations on Friday ahead of Sunday's kickoff in New Orleans.
