Browns HC Todd Monken said it’s possible QB Taylen Green will be active for Week 1 against the Jaguars. 2026-09-07 14:00:02 When speaking with the media on Monday, Monken said, “There could be a package where we have (Green)” on the field. Monken also suggested he , which could mean Shedeur Sanders would be a healthy scratch. Even if this were to happen, we shouldn’t assume this means Sanders is behind Green on the depth chart. As long as Deshaun Watson is in the QB1 seat, the Browns’ weekly game plan won’t include Sanders, while Green’s explosiveness on the ground could add another element to the offense in select packages, making him a more valuable option on game days. If Watson were to miss time due to injury or lose the starting job, we would still expect Sanders to be the next man up, with Green continuing to serve in select packages. |

ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi reports QB Taylen Green has made the Browns’ initial 53-man roster. 2026-08-30 16:00:03 Cleveland is expected to keep all four of its quarterbacks for the 53-man roster. That includes Deshaun Watson, the team’s Week 1 starter, along with Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Green, who was selected with the 182nd pick in the 2026 draft. The hyper-athletic Green could be used as a trick play option in Todd Monken’s offense. Green in 2025 led all college football players in EPA per rush. |

The Athletic’s Zac Jackson believes the Browns using QB Taylen Green as a short-yardage quarterback or in a run-heavy package “remains a tantalizing possibility.” 2026-05-12 15:00:03 You can never quite rule out the Browns quarterback situation just taking a weird turn towards Green at some point in the season — the situation is that unsettled — but it appears like this would be the easiest way for the 182nd overall pick to get involved early on in his career. Todd Monken said it’s “probably too early to tell that,” but added that “there would be a possibility of him (in) short yardage ... maybe some third down stuff that we could utilize.” Green is a name to remember for fantasy managers because his athleticism would seem to be an easy key to fantasy points if he can figure out the rest of the quarterback position, but he’s probably just a lottery ticket at this point. |

Browns coach Todd Monken said the team is working on QB Taylen Green’s fundamentals. 2026-05-10 16:00:03 Per Monken, the Browns are working on everything from Green’s “choppy” cadence to his long release. Improving Green’s footwork is on the to-do list as well. It’s easy to see how Green’s gangly frame (6'6/227) lends itself to less-than-crisp dropbacks. Monken also said the team is going to be “really diligent” in trying to quicken Green’s release — he possesses almost a 7-foot wingspan and arms measuring nearly 35 inches. That said, Monken has been “super impressed with his ability to really learn, process and take it to the field and then getting through his progressions.” Green’s chances of being anything more than a preseason DFS darling might be slim, but if he can refine his fundamentals under Monken’s tutelage, the sky’s the limit in fantasy football. |
