Sanders is in a four-way quarterback competition as he fights for the starting quarterback job.

Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are all fighting with Sanders for the top job.

However, they are all fighting to stay on the roster as well.

Sanders ran into an issue over the weekend though, with a shoulder injury holding him out of practice.

When it happened, former NFL quarterback Kurt Benkert immediately thought it was a red flag.

“This is what they do before a trade,” he said.

It turns out, Sanders just needed some rest and quickly returned to practice after the shoulder injury.

He said it is something that has bugged him throughout his playing career.

“Yeah, in college, it was often,” Sanders said.

“It’s just adjusting to starting and stopping, honestly. That’s all it truly is.

“Sometimes you go in hot. Then, you’ll wait for a second and then get cold. Then, get back hot and then get cold.

“My arm and body wasn’t used to that. It’s just an adjustment within my body, within my arm.”

While he was only out for a day, Sanders understands that every day is important in training camp.

He also acknowledged that he could be off of the Browns’ roster at any time.

“I think every rep I get in general is valuable,” Sanders said.

“We’re definitely taking things up a notch I would say with everything.

“Every rep. Anytime I step on the field, I take it like it could be my last. You don’t know.

“There were players we were practicing with last week that’s not here no more.

“It’s more about a bond. It’s more about going all out. It’s more about how you’ll be remembered.”

For now, Sanders is still a Brown, but that could change at any moment.
