Sanders to get opportunities in joint practice and preseason game as Browns QB competition continues
- Shedeur Sanders is set to get first-team reps during Thursday’s joint practice with the Buffalo Bills and to start Saturday’s preseason game against them.
- The Browns are continuing to evaluate Sanders and Deshaun Watson as they sort out their quarterback competition.
- Sanders said he is treating each day the same and does not feel extra anxiety or pressure about this week’s chances.
- In last Saturday’s preseason loss to Chicago, Sanders went 6 of 11 for 79 yards and threw one interception.
- Watson completed 11 of 15 passes for 126 yards in the Browns’ first preseason game and said he is focused on improving rather than the competition.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is scheduled to get snaps with the first-team offense during Thursday’s joint practice with the Buffalo Bills and to start Saturday’s preseason game against Buffalo. The team is still sorting through its quarterback competition, with Sanders and Deshaun Watson both being evaluated.
Sanders said he is not placing special weight on this week and described every day as important. He said he does not feel added pressure as he works through the competition.
In last Saturday’s 34-10 loss to Chicago, Sanders played three second-half series, finishing 6 of 11 for 79 yards with one interception. He said the joint practice and preseason game offer a chance to face a different defensive scheme and continue improving.
Browns coach Todd Monken said Sanders and Watson will each get work with the first unit during the joint practice, and Watson is expected to enter Saturday’s game in the third quarter after Sanders opens the first half. Watson said he is focused on improving his own play and can only control his reps and opportunities.
随着布朗队四分卫竞争继续，桑德斯将在联合训练和季前赛中获得机会
克利夫兰布朗队四分卫谢杜尔·桑德斯将于周四与布法罗比尔队的联合训练中获得首发阵容的出场机会，并将在周六对阵比尔队的季前赛中首发。球队仍在推进四分卫竞争评估，桑德斯和德肖恩·沃森都在考察范围内。
桑德斯表示，他不会把本周视为特别时刻，并称每一天都很重要。他说自己在竞争中没有感到额外压力。
在上周六布朗队以34比10负于芝加哥的季前赛中，桑德斯在下半场出战三个回合，11传6中，推进79码，并有一次被抄截。他说，联合训练和季前赛能让他面对不同的防守体系，帮助自己继续提高。
布朗队主教练托德·蒙肯表示，桑德斯和沃森都会在联合训练中获得与首发阵容配合的机会，周六比赛中沃森预计将在桑德斯打完上半场后于第三节登场。沃森表示自己主要专注于提升表现，只能把握自己获得的出场时间和机会。
