Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders (12) scrambles for yards during the second half of an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens at Huntington Bank Field, Nov. 16, 2025, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Sanders played for the entire second half against the Ravens. He struggled by completing 4-of-16 passes for 47 yards and one interception. Rookie Dillon Gabriel was in concussion protocol. He is still in concussion protocol and Sanders is going to be starting in week 12 for Cleveland against the Las Vegas Raiders. It will be interesting to see how he is going to do with a full week of practice this time around.

God works in magical ways. Minor setback for major comeback against the team that was rumored to take you and let you fall to the 5th

Cleveland and Las Vegas both have 2-8 records this season. The Raiders do not have a good defense. If Sanders does not play well for the Browns with a full week of preparation, then the haters are going to come out even more.
