The former Colorado QB played well enough on Friday to warrant some discussion about his place on the depth chart. Naturally, since Sanders was arguably third or fourth coming into the game, Grossi and others were probably fair to wonder about Sanders’ spot on the team.
But with injuries to rookie Dillon Gabriel and veteran Kenny Pickett , Sanders got his shot to start. Joe Flacco, the projected starter for the regular season, was given a rest day.
In the 30-10 win, Sanders went 14-of-23 passing for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Despite reportedly receiving the least amount of first-team reps in training camp, Sanders made the most of his opportunity.
