Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken confirmed that Shedeur Sanders will start in Week 2 of the preseason against the Buffalo Bills, following his performance against the Chicago Bears. In that game, Sanders played with the backups, completing 6 of 11 passes for 79 yards and one interception. Deshaun Watson started the game and completed 11 of 15 passes for 126 yards without a touchdown. Monken intends for both quarterbacks to split first-team reps in practices leading up to the Bills game, giving Sanders the opportunity to run with the primary offense. Watson is expected to play the third quarter in the upcoming contest while Dillon will handle the fourth.
