Browns designated QB Dillon Gabriel (back/IR) for return. 2026-10-06 16:00:03 His 21-day practice window will open up. There’s obviously no rush to promote him to the active roster with the Browns already dressing three quarterbacks every week, so this is probably just starting a ticking clock on a trade or cut from the quarterback room. |

Browns placed QB Dillon Gabriel (back) on injured reserve. 2026-08-30 17:00:02 Reporting had the Browns set to keep four quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster, but this makes a little more sense. Gabriel was not spotted throwing at practice today, and now we know why. We have no idea when he suffered the back injury, but he’ll miss at least the first four weeks of the season. The team also announced the final roster cuts to get down to the final, 53-man roster. Waived or released were DT Travis Bell, RB Davon Booth, DT Elijah Chatman, G Kinsley Eguakun, DE Logan Fano, WR Luke Floriea, WR Gage Larvadain, T K.T. Leveston, RB Ahmani Marshall, P Wes Pahl, DT Tyreak Sapp, DE Khordae Sydnor, LB Edefuan Ulofoshio, S Zion Washington, LB Nathaniel Watson, and WR Kole Wilson. |

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Dillon Gabriel is “set” to make the Browns’ 53-man roster. 2026-08-30 13:00:02 The Browns also reportedly want to keep rookie Taylen Green, and it’s hard to imagine them keeping four quarterbacks on the roster, so something has to give. Our money is on the Browns ultimately trading Gabriel for a late-round pick. Gabriel looked good in his final preseason outing, throwing for 186 yards and three scores. That alone might be enough for a team to give him a shot at a backup job this year. |

Browns HC Todd Monken declined to say whether or not he would keep four QBs on the roster after the Browns’ preseason finale on Thursday against the Patriots. 2026-08-28 12:00:02 In fairness to Monken, it’s not often we see teams keep four QBs on a roster. With Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders already locked into their roles, the question becomes whether or not both Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green make the 53-man roster or if one could be cut/traded. Gabriel turned in a solid outing in the Browns’ final preseason game, throwing for 186 yards and three touchdowns in one half of play, while Green threw for 27 scoreless yards but also rushed for 88 yards on six carries and helped orchestrate a 98-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. With roster cutdown day set for Sunday, Monken and GM Andrew Berry still have a few days to decide the makeup of their QB room before Week 1’s game against the Jaguars. |

Dillon Gabriel was second in line in quarterback snaps during team drills on Wednesday. 2026-05-20 13:00:03 It might not mean much for the forgotten man in the Browns quarterback room this offseason. Deshaun Watson continues to operate as the team’s starter in offseason practices. Shedeur Sanders is expected to compete for the starting gig, though he’s expected to be an underdog to begin the regular season under center for a revamped Cleveland offense. Head coach Todd Monken appears enamored with Watson, who has played in 19 regular season games since 2021. Gabriel had the NFL’s lowest EPA per drop back in 2025, just ahead of Sanders. The Browns have insisted they would not trade Gabriel this offseason. |
