**Browns Coach Kevin Stefanski Responds to Sabotage Allegations Against Shedeur Sanders**
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has addressed recent allegations suggesting that his coaching decisions negatively impacted Shedeur Sanders’ performance during the final preseason game. In that game, Sanders completed 3 of 6 passes for just 14 yards and was sacked five times. In contrast, Dillon Gabriel threw for 129 yards and a touchdown, while Tyler Huntley led the Browns on a crucial final drive that resulted in a game-winning field goal.
Sports commentator Skip Bayless and others have criticized Stefanski’s choices, claiming that Sanders was set up for failure by playing alongside third- and fourth-string teammates. Bayless specifically accused the Browns of “sabotaging” Sanders’ performance.
In response to these claims, Stefanski stated, “I don’t concern myself with outside type of things, but I’m committed to his development, just like all of our rookies. We’ll continue to focus on getting our guys better, and that’s what’s important to me.”
Stefanski explained that he opted to keep Sanders out of the final two minutes of the 19-16 victory over the Los Angeles Rams to allow Huntley more playing time. He also commended Gabriel for his improvement from the beginning of the preseason to the latest game, noting, “There’s plenty to clean up for our rookies and all of our players. It goes back to the spring and all the work that he’s put in with these young players.”
As the cut-down deadline approaches, the Browns face important decisions regarding their quarterback roster.
