According to The Athletic’s Zac Jackson, “Stefanski said nothing has changed re: Shedeur Sanders’ practice reps or routine but said Sanders has been good in post-practice drills with other young players, including today in red zone.”

This indicates a deliberate plan aimed at gradual progression rather than a reactionary shift born from the team’s struggles.

A long-term investment amid short-term turmoil

While frustration grows externally, the Browns appear aligned internally. Despite the offensive downturn and ongoing quarterback uncertainty, the organization has reportedly reached a final decision on Kevin Stefanski’s status—an indication that the coach’s long-view approach remains supported at the highest level.

For now, Stefanski is prioritizing patience over panic. Keeping Sanders on a controlled developmental path may not offer immediate relief to Cleveland Browns’ offensive woes, but it reflects a strategy built for stability rather than desperation.
