Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that rookie Shedeur Sanders will be the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Dillon Gabriel for Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh. After trading Joe Flacco last Tuesday, Cleveland’s roster holds only two rookie passers, Gabriel and Sanders; practice-squad quarterback Bailey Zappe would need to be signed to the active roster before Saturday. Long viewed as a developmental option and the emergency No. 3 for five games, Sanders said he feels ready. Gabriel will start in Pittsburgh, where the Browns have dropped 21 straight regular-season games. Their last regular-season win there came on Oct. 5, 2003.
