Shedeur Sanders won’t be on the field Saturday for the Cleveland Browns against the Philadelphia Eagles due to injury. But, the former Colorado star could be back in time for next week’s preseason finale, per ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi .

The Browns’ QB room is intriguing considering the injuries to Sanders and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel . The evaluations are seemingly all over the place.

But Gabriel could be in line to start Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia. It’ll be a game time decision while Sanders recovers.

“We’ll start with Shedeur Sanders, who we’re not going to see an encore performance from today, he’s being held out because of an oblique strain that he suffered last Wednesday,” Oyefusi said on SportsCenter . “The Browns said that he’s day to day, but there is some hope that he’ll be able to return to practice next week, in time for that preseason finale. Just getting some treatment and some rest. 

“In the meantime, fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, he’s been dealing with his own injury, hamstring tightness that kept him out of last week’s preseason opener, but there is some optimism that he’ll be able to start today’s game. Just going to be evaluated this morning before getting the all go. If he’s cleared, he’ll start. We’ll see a lot of him and Tyler Huntley behind him, but if not, it would just be Tyler Huntley as the only other available quarterback to play today.”
