"Dillon Gabriel will be benched midway through 2nd Q": NFL fans react to latest Shedeur Sanders update ahead of Browns-Jets clash

Shedeur Sanders has been the talk of the town for the Cleveland Browns amid their struggles this season. The quarterback has been serving as the backup to fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel in the past few weeks.

On Friday, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Sanders will be the No. 2 QB on the roster, while Gabriel starts against the New York Jets in Week 10 on Sunday. However, fans had some interesting reactions to Stefanski's comments, with some suggesting that Sanders could play his first game for the team against New York.

"Gabriel will be benched midway through the second quarter and Sanders will come in to beat us. A tale as old as time," one tweeted.

"No matter what Shedeur Sanders does for the receivers it will be good for Quinshon Judkins," another added. "Wow, he is 2nd string qb. Thanks for the news," a third commented.

Here are a few more reactions.

"Guaranteed Shedeur plays Guaranteed Shedeur lights the Jets up," one wrote. "The stage is set," another added. "Who cares? Tell us when they make him #1 QB," a user tweeted.

The Browns took Gabriel with the No. 94 pick in this year's draft. Sanders was the second QB they drafted this year, with the No. 144 pick.

Gabriel was initially the Browns' QB2 at the start of the season, but took over the starting role after Joe Flacco was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Cleveland Browns had ruled out Shedeur Sanders in their Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie was dealing with a back injury.

However, it appears that Cleveland's Week 9 BYE has helped Sanders with his rehab. The QB is active on the team roster for the matchup against the Jets.

It will be interesting to see if Sanders can get his first taste of NFL action against the Jets on Sunday.
