Browns QB Dillon Gabriel switches to No. 6 jersey
Summary

Dillon Gabriel, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, has changed his jersey number from No. 8 to No. 6 during practices. This change comes as Jared Verse, a new edge rusher, takes over No. 8, which both players wore last week. Gabriel’s new number became available when linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was ruled out for the season due to a neck injury. With this number issue resolved, Gabriel continues his efforts to secure a position on the 53-man roster along with quarterbacks Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Taylen Green.
