SHEDUER SANDERS is expected to play for the Cleveland Browns this season.
The quarter-back is getting closer to his first start with head coach Kevin Stefanski mixing things up.

Sanders was a fifth-round pick for the Browns – their last in the Draft – but he could have a role to play this season.
Another draft pick, Dillon Gabriel, made his first start in the defeat to the Minnesota Vikings at the weekend.
Veteran Joe Flacco took a place on the bench instead of Sanders.
But that is only because the Browns trust his in-game experience, according NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
And they did not want to throw Sanders in at the deep end in a match that was set up to suit Gabriel.
Rapoport claims Sanders will get a chance at some point this season when he is ready.
And when he does, it will be after Sanders gets a full week of practice, with the game plan made for him, rather than one designed for Gabriel.
Despite being the No.3 choice at present, Sanders thinks he has the quality of a starting QB.
Speaking to ESPN Cleveland, Sanders made it known that he thinks he is better than many of the starters in the NFL.
“I know if you see the quarterback play in the league right now, I know I’m capable of doing better than that,” he said.
“Overall, I feel like I’m doing great and doing what I need to do each and every day.
“Remaining focused and mind on the complete mission, not really get comfortable.
“I’m not comfortable being a scout team player, but honestly, that’s my situation, so I’m going to make the best of it and enjoy my moment.
“Overall, this isn’t my end goal. I’m just enjoying myself, learning, doing everything I have to do and just ready for my opportunity.”

Sanders was once considered a possible top-five draft pick, but fell all the way to No. 144 overall.
It is possible that Sanders could have been the No. 2 quarterback on another team.
However, he shot down the idea of being drafted by multiple teams.
The Baltimore Ravens reportedly had interest in taking him at No. 141, but Sanders’ camp had no interest in him being Lamar Jackson‘s backup.
“Overall, I feel like I’m doing great and doing what I need to do each and every day,” Sanders continued.
“Remaining focused and mind on the complete mission, not really get comfortable.
