Catches sole target in win Sanders caught his sole target for seven yards, had two rushes for four yards and returned two kicks for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Sanders played 11 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. Despite the small snap share, Sanders found plenty to do in Cleveland's first win of the season, making key plays for both the offensive and special teams units.

Impact Sampson injured his knee on a kickoff return during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars, and he'll be required to miss at least the next four games while on IR. Sanders finished that game with three catches on as many targets for 25 yards along with a one-yard carry, but moving forward, he should see more offensive snaps as the Browns' RB2 behind Quinshon Judkins, with Jaleel McLaughlin slotting in as the No. 3 backfield option. The Browns will stay on the road for a Week 2 tilt against the Buccaneers, whose defense gave up 106 rushing yards and one touchdown on 27 carries (3.9 YPC) in a 33-27 loss to the Bengals in Week 1.

Catches three passes in blowout loss Sanders caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and added one rush on the ground for a yard in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Sanders had an opportunity to mix into the offense after Dylan Sampson (knee) sustained an injury during the Week 1 contest. The running back played 18 of the 51 offensive snaps for the Browns while also adding 130 kick return yards on three returns. Sanders was utilized far more in the receiving game, letting Quinshon Judkins take the majority of the carries.

Six touches in finale Sanders had five carries for 26 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18.

Impact Due to injuries in the backfield, Sanders operated as the No. 2 back for a third consecutive game. The undrafted free agent hooked up with the Browns a week before the start of the regular season and played four games. He finished with 27 carries for 92 yards and three receptions (four targets) for 21 yards. Sanders could return for 2026, but change is coming in Cleveland. The statuses of head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry are a popular topic. A new regime -- front office or coaching or, most likely, both -- would indicate roster changes are coming. If Sanders survives, he'll still operate as running back depth behind Quinshon Judkins.

Held to 31 yards Sanders rushed the ball eight times for 21 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers. He added one reception on two targets for 10 yards.

Impact Sanders worked closely behind Dylan Sampson in the Cleveland backfield, logging nine catches to Sampson's 14. Sanders was unable to get much going on the ground, with his longest rush going for only six yards. He should maintain a split in the Browns' backfield heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Bengals, though his fantasy appeal remains minimal.

Records 12 touches in loss Sanders rushed 11 times for 42 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Quinshon Judkins exited the game in the second quarter with what was eventually diagnosed as a broken fibula and dislocated ankle, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, and Sanders finished as the team leader rush attempts. Backfield mate Trayveon Williams operated more as a change-of-pace option, and although Judkins will naturally miss the final two games of the season, Sanders and Williams could be joined by Dylan Sampson (calf), who logged a second straight absence due to calf and hand injuries, for a Week 17 home matchup against the Steelers next Sunday, which would muddy the outlook for all three backs to a degree.

Activated but does not play Sanders was added to the active roster but did not play in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears in Week 15.

Impact Sanders was poised to pick up some opportunities for the first time since the season opener, as both Dylan Sampson (calf, inactive) and Jerome Ford (shoulder, IR) were unavailable, but it was the newly signed Trayveon Williams serving as the top backup to Quinshon Judkins. It speaks volumes that Sanders, who has been with the team all season and is familiar with the playbook, did not get on the field.

Inactive Sunday Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

Sitting out in Week 2 Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Sanders suited up as the Browns' No. 3 running back in the team's 17-16 loss to the Bengals in the season opener and was able to make an impact in his limited snaps, finishing with three yards and a touchdown on three carries. However, with rookie second-round pick Quinshon Judkins (not injury related) having been reinstated from the commissioner's exempt list and added back to the 53-man roster after turning in full practices Thursday and Friday, Sanders will slide to fourth on the depth chart at running back and won't dress Sunday. Unless the Browns lose Judkins, Jerome Ford or Dylan Sampson to an injury in a given week, inactive statuses could start to become the norm for Sanders, an undrafted rookie out of South Carolina.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

In line to be active Sanders could be part of the active roster for Week 2 against the Ravens with the unsettled status of Quinshon Judkins, who is still on the Commissioner's exempt list.

Impact Sanders, who was active in Week 1's 17-16 loss to the Bengals, only played three snaps but one of those was a one-yard touchdown plunge. He finished the game with three carries for three yards. Judkins missed all of the preseason and didn't sign a contract until the day prior to the season opener. He got on the practice field Thursday for the first time since mandatory minicamp in June and may not be up to speed for Sunday's game at Baltimore. The Browns were granted a two-week roster exemption for Judkins, so won't count toward the roster if he remains held out Week 2.
