Shedeur Sanders struggles in Browns’ final preseason game

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders struggled in his final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. Sanders shined in his first preseason game, but missed the second with an oblique strain.

Sanders went 11 of 18 for 103 passing yards, two touchdowns, 20 rushing yards, and 113.9 passer rating in the first half of that game, which he started.

All in all, Sanders ended his day 14 of 23 with 138 yards passing, two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 106.8 passer rating to round out his night.

However, he struggled on Saturday, taking five sacks, including a disastrous 24 yard loss on a sack. On those sacks, the Browns lost 41 yards total.

He finished going 3 of 6 for just 14 yards before being replaced by veteran Tyler Huntley. After the game, Sanders said he ‘obviously’ expects to make the 53-man roster.

After being selected in the fifth-round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Browns, Sanders was dropped into a four-way quarterback battle that Joe Flacco won. He was one of two rookies drafted by Cleveland, with the other being Dillon Gabriel.

The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, Shedeur Sanders started his college career playing for Deion at Jackson State, before following him to Colorado.

He helped turn around the Buffaloes program and won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award in 2024. Shedeur was also named a second-team All-American last season, as well as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
