Browns coach Stefanski still isn't ready to announce Sanders as his starting QB for rest of season

On Monday, Coach Kevin Stefanski said he will evaluate Shedeur Sanders week to week after the Browns' 26-8 loss to San Francisco, which ensured their 23rd losing season since 1999.
Limited first-unit reps — including his backup role after Oct. 7 — help explain the cautious approach, as Stefanski said, `That takes time and work to develop the right chemistry and be on the same page.`
Sanders has recorded a passer rating above 85 in each of his first two starts, an unusual rookie achievement, and produced three of the Browns' four longest pass plays despite limited reps.
Cleveland hosts Tennessee this week as it assesses personnel and the QB spot, with guard Wyatt Teller out, Jack Conklin and Dylan Sampson under evaluation, and Maliek Collins facing season-ending surgery.
Draft positioning — including the potential five and 26th picks and two first-round picks next year — factors into evaluation as starting Shedeur Sanders would give insight before an uncertain offseason tied to the Deshaun Watson trade.
