The CBS coverage of Sunday’s San Francisco 49ers-Cleveland Browns game showed quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy studying a tablet on the sideline as the fourth quarter began. The Browns pass-catcher’s agitated movements and exasperated expressions as he reacted to the rookie QB’s responses didn’t indicate harmony in the Cleveland offense.

“We spoke about it. We good,” Jeudy said when asked on Wednesday about the incident. “… I mean, it’s an emotional sport. You know, if things like that happen, it’s football.”

During his Wednesday press conference, Sanders agreed the drama had been put to bed.

“We resolved that,” Sanders said. “We’re not going to speak on that.”

Jeudy said he should have handled the situation differently.

“What I would have done different, I’d probably talk to him off-camera,” Jeudy said. “That’s probably what I would have done different. Of course, I’m going to speak my mind, say what I see out there. But, you know, it what it is — football, man. Me and Shedeur are good. You know, stuff like that happens.

“Y’all are going to make it bigger than what it is because it’s the media. That’s what y’all feed off of — negativity. But it is what it is. This is the life we live. We move on from it. And I live a real life, you know. So what happens around in this locker room, this real, not what’s going on on social media and everything. So me and Shedeur good. Everything good, man.”

A fifth-round draft choice on April 26, Sanders has started Cleveland’s past two games. The Browns began the season with Joe Flacco at quarterback for four games. After trading the 18-year veteran to the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland had third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel at quarterback for six games. A concussion for Gabriel put Sanders into the lineup.

In his two starts – a 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 23 and a 26-8 loss to the 49ers on Sunday – Sanders completed 27-of-45 passes for 358 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Jeudy has four receptions for 65 yards in Sanders’ starts.

“It’s going to take time to be able to develop that chemistry with everybody,” Sanders said after Sunday’s game, “to be on the same page with Jerry. Of course, you want to be able to get him the ball, but you got to understand it takes time. I’m more of a trust person, you know, and that’s just what it boiled down to. So we have to spend time on task with all those guys and be able to trust and be able to see things at the same lens. A lot of the time out there, I would say passing-wise, we’re not seeing everything at the same lens.”

How much time Sanders will have to accomplish that got a new question mark on Wednesday, when quarterback Deshaun Watson returned to practice.

A three-time Pro Bowler, Watson hasn’t played since the seventh game of the 2024 season. A ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in a 21-14 loss to Cincinnati on Oct. 20 was followed by surgery in October and January.

The Browns have five games remaining on their regular-season schedule. By putting Watson on the practice field, Cleveland opened a 21-day window during which the quarterback can be restored to the active roster from the physically-unable-to-perform list. If Watson isn’t on the active roster at the end of the three-week period, he cannot play this season.

Last season, when Cleveland posted a 3-14 record, Jeudy went to the Pro Bowl Games after catching 90 passes for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns.

This season, with the Browns at 3-9, the former Alabama All-American has 35 receptions for 421 yards and one touchdown.

“It’s very frustrating, you know,” Jeudy said. “But you only can control what you can control and do what you need to do. That’s it.”

Jeudy said what frustrated him was “losing, of course. I don’t want to speak on nothing else — just losing.”

In their next game, the Browns play one of the two AFC teams with a worse record than Cleveland’s. The Browns and Tennessee Titans square off at noon CST Sunday at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland. Tennessee has a 1-11 record.
