In the past year or so, burglaries have taken place at the homes of multiple high-profile athletes, including the Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic, the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, and the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
In Sunday's 23-16 loss, Sanders completed 4 of 16 passes for 47 yards and threw an interception. He was also sacked twice. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game that Sanders will start next Sunday's game against the Raiders in Las Vegas if Gabriel cannot clear protocol.
