Cleveland Browns may retain four quarterbacks following Dillon Gabriel's return

The Cleveland Browns are considering keeping four quarterbacks on their active roster following the return of Dillon Gabriel from injured reserve. Gabriel, who missed time due to a preseason back injury, has opened his 21-day practice window.

Currently, the Browns roster includes starter Deshaun Watson, backup Shedeur Sanders, and Taylen Green. Watson has led the team to a 3-1 start, making a midseason trade unlikely despite previous speculation. Head coach Todd Monken has expressed interest in evaluating his young quarterbacks, including the possibility of using Green in specific packages.

While the team faces a potential roster crunch, reports suggest Cleveland has no immediate plans to move Sanders or Gabriel. The team may use Gabriel’s practice window to evaluate roster options or wait for potential injuries to other players to facilitate roster adjustments.
