With Dillon Gabriel and Kenny Pickett nursing injuries, it was only Sanders and Tyler Huntley who saw snaps at the QB position for Cleveland.

NFL Continues Sanders Hype Train
On Monday night, days after the Browns' preseason opener, the NFL Instagram account continued with the Sanders hype.
The account posted a video of Sanders with some highlights, including one of his touchdown passes and his famous wrist-up celebration.
"Wrist up = perfect timing," the captain read.
The video also said "Shedeur's Wrist Celly is Legendary," with a watch emoji on the screen.
So, even days after the game, the NFL is still rolling out Sanders' hype clips.
When Did Shedeur Sanders' Celebration Start?
Sanders' celebration went viral during his days with the Colorado Buffaloes, so it isn't surprising to see him continue it in the NFL.
Ahead of the NFL Draft, Sanders had answered whether or not the celebration would continue.
“Of course, that’s my celebration,” Sanders said. “Anytime anybody holds their wrist up, they pay tribute to me, man.”
He did it multiple times throughout the game, and this was only the opener, so expect to see many more of these celebrations going forward, especially if Sanders emerges as the Browns' QB1.
