browns shedeur sanders panthers.

Rookie Shedeur Sanders will start for the Cleveland Browns in their preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night with the recently signed Tyler Huntley also expected to play. The Browns confirmed the news during a joint practice with the Panthers. Veteran Joe Flacco is healthy but will not play. Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel will not play either because of injuries. Sanders was drafted in the fifth round. Despite being fourth on the depth chart, injuries to other Browns QBs have contributed to this opportunity.
