Cleveland Browns may make Shedeur Sanders inactive for regular season opener

The Cleveland Browns could keep quarterback Shedeur Sanders inactive for their Week 1 regular season opener. Head coach Todd Monken stated on Monday that the team is considering keeping three quarterbacks active on gameday, noting that doing so presents logistical challenges. The decision stems from the organization's interest in utilizing rookie Taylen Green, who offers significant athleticism as a potential situational player. Monken indicated the team might deploy a specific package of plays for Green, potentially displacing Sanders from the active roster. While some observers suggest Monken’s comments may be an example of gamesmanship, the team has not ruled out the possibility. If Sanders is inactive, he could still potentially serve as the emergency third quarterback, though he would only be eligible to enter the game if both Deshaun Watson and Green are injured.
