Did Shedeur Sanders play today? Latest update on rookie QB in Browns depth chart image

The Cleveland Browns got crushed by the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Week 2 of the NFL regular season.

The Browns fell to 0-2 with the loss, and Shedeur Sanders was one of three QBs in uniform.

Sanders remains part of a crowded quarterback room, and on this occasion, two of the Browns' quarterbacks got into the game.

It didn't matter, as Cleveland lost 41-17.

Did Shedeur Sanders play today?

No, Shedeur Sanders didn't play in Week 2 for the Browns.

Sanders has been slotted as Cleveland's No. 3 quarterback since the Browns traded Kenny Pickett away at the end of the preseason.

On Sunday, for the second week in a row, that meant he was the Browns' emergency QB.

Joe Flacco started. Dillon Gabriel was his backup.

The fellow rookie Gabriel got in late in the blowout and threw a TD to rookie RB Dylan Sampson.

Sanders' designation as emergency quarterback meant that the only way he could play is if both Flacco and Gabriel were injured. It's an official NFL gameday slot the league created for QBs just to ensure they could avoid spots were non-quarterbacks had to play that position.

For now, it seems like that's where Sanders will remain.
