CLEVELAND — Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his NFL debut in the second half of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The highly publicized quarterback entered with 12:43 remaining in the third quarter after Cleveland announced that Dillon Gabriel was being evaluated for a concussion. Gabriel was ruled out later in the quarter.

On his first snap, Sanders threw a 5-yard pass to Cedric Tillman with the Browns leading 16-10. He completed both of his passes for 12 yards on his first drive but also fumbled after an 11-yard sack by Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton.

The Ravens came back to win the game, 23-16.

The fifth-round pick became Cleveland's backup behind fellow rookie Gabriel after Joe Flacco was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 7.
