What happened: A Cleveland beat reporter disputed social media speculation that Shedeur Sanders took shots at the New Orleans Saints during Wednesday's media availability. The reporter stated Sanders simply declined to answer multiple questions from reporters during the session rather than directing remarks toward New Orleans.

Why it matters: The interaction drew attention after Cleveland named Shedeur Sanders starting quarterback against Saints on Friday. Cleveland enters the matchup following a 27-6 loss to Pittsburgh, while New Orleans sits at 2-5 on the season.

What to watch: The Browns travel to face the Saints on Sunday as Sanders makes his first career start.
