Browns consider Taylen Green as backup quarterback for Week 1 against Jaguars

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Todd Monken indicated that rookie Taylen Green could serve as the team's active No. 2 quarterback for the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Deshaun Watson remains the starter, while Shedeur Sanders, who competed for the top position during the summer, faces the possibility of being a healthy inactive. The potential roster shift follows the placement of Dillon Gabriel on injured reserve. While the organization is evaluating specific offensive packages that involve Green's athleticism, Monken acknowledged that keeping three quarterbacks active on gameday remains an unlikely prospect. If the coaching staff proceeds with this plan, Green would move ahead of Sanders on the depth chart for the upcoming road game in Jacksonville.
