Browns' Shedeur Sanders Shines in 30-10 Preseason Win over Panthers

In the Cleveland Browns' 30-10 preseason victory over the Carolina Panthers, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders impressed with his poise, accuracy, and ability to navigate pressure, despite being the team's fourth-string QB. Sanders started primarily due to injuries to other quarterbacks and sat for much of the game, but during his extensive playtime, he threw two touchdown passes to receiver Kaden Davis and showcased mobility with key scrambles. The Browns' young defense also showed promise with impactful plays, including pressure on Panthers quarterbacks Bryce Young and Andy Dalton. The Panthers, despite the loss, had bright spots such as wide receiver Jalen Coker's touchdown catch and solid defensive contributions from players like Incoom and rookie Thornton. Special teams saw a notable moment when Panthers kicker Fitzgerald converted a crucial 32-yard field goal late in the game. Overall, Sanders' debut solidified excitement around him as a potential future leader for the Browns while the team demonstrated areas of growth on both sides of the ball.
