Dillon Gabriel faces uncertainty on Browns' roster ahead of preseason opener

Summary

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel is reportedly at risk of being cut ahead of the preseason opener against the Chicago Bears. Gabriel, who is ranked third on the depth chart behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, has struggled to secure his spot as competition intensifies. The team has a history of difficult roster decisions as they evaluate their quarterback situation, with potential trade interest in Gabriel if he performs well during the preseason. He will have limited opportunities to showcase his skills as Watson and Sanders are expected to take the majority of playing time.
