This will make the second time in four weeks that Joe Flacco starts vs. the Packers. He did it Week 3 in Cleveland as the Browns QB and will do it Week 6 in Green Bay as the Bengals QB.

Browns head to Pittsburgh, where they haven't won in 21 straight regular-season games, with 2 rookie QBs who haven't won an NFL game yet. Could ignorance be bliss in this case? Stefanski: “Honestly, it’s the game of football. It’s in the past. It doesn’t really matter.”

Did Kevin Stefanski address the veterans on the team & try to explain why trading Joe Flacco is in the best interests of the team? KS: 'Yeah, I talked to our veterans and they understand what’s in front of us.'

No matter how the Browns designate Bailey Zappe -- either as QB2 or QB3 -- they will have to sign him to the 53 to do it. They can't just elevate him from practice squad.

Five weeks into Browns season, neither Joe Flacco nor Kenny Pickett are here. Explain why all those reps in t. camp weren't a waste of time? Kevin Stefanski: “There’s a lot of unknowns in football, in sports. You can’t always predict injuries, trades, those type of things.”

Q has answered the call every step of the way

Stefanski said he spoke with veterans and QBs on "surprise" Flacco trade. He's keeping those conversations private, stresses that focus is on what's ahead.

"We're counting on a lot of young guys, but they're not playing like rookies.' -- Stefanski

Stefanski: 'I think there's certainly growth with players in a season. These are all great challenges for young players.' -- on Gabriel playing his first game in London & second in Pittsburgh.

Stefanski said Flacco was in building yesterday when trade went down.

#Browns Kevin Stefanski says he has to do what's best for the players as well as the team. They've said numerous times they're trying to develop Shedeur Sanders very intentionally.

Stefanski reiterates he wants to do right by young players, committed to their development and wants to put them in successful situations.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski on not saying yet if Shedeur Sanders will be No. 2 QB: In my role, I have to do what's best for our players, our team. I'm very invested in our quarterbacks' development.
