The Cleveland Browns saw Shedeur Sanders play a very sharp game in their preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers. Unfortunately, he missed the team's second preseason game due to an oblique injury.

Coach Kevin Stefanski defended his handling of Shedeur Sanders’ development after the Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback struggled against the Los Angeles Rams in Saturday’s preseason finale.

Sanders, a fifth-round pick, suffered an oblique strain during practice prior to the Browns' second preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles and didn't have an opportunity to carry over momentum seized against the Panthers in the preseason opener.
