What happened: Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Todd Monken evaluated Shedeur Sanders taking snaps in relief of starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. Sanders entered late during Cleveland's 27-6 defeat against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Why it matters: Watson remains Cleveland's starter after Monken selected Watson as the Browns' starter earlier this season. Sanders serves as the primary backup, making any change under center significant for Cleveland's offense moving forward.

What to watch: Cleveland returns to practice to assess Watson's workload following the physical contest. Monken and the coaching staff will determine the quarterback reps ahead of the team's next matchup.
