The Cleveland Browns have confirmed more details about the injury Shedeur Sanders suffered during a joint practice with the Eagles. Everything indicates that the rookie quarterback will not be able to play in the second preseason game against the Super Bowl champions.
âAfter further medical testing and examination, Shedeur Sanders sustained an oblique strain. The Browns are considering Sanders day to day, and he will not participate in the second joint practice on August 14.
