Joe Flacco will begin and is expected to play 25 to 30 snapshots, while the rookie field marshal Dillon Gabriel will take the second quarter and Sanders the third.
Sanders began the first preseason game of the team against the Carolina Panthers and impressed, completing 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns.
