Dillon Gabriel makes Browns initial roster as Taylen Green faces uncertain future

Summary

Dillon Gabriel is set to join the Cleveland Browns initial 53-man roster following a strong preseason finale. Gabriel finished the preseason with a 157.9 passer rating, completing 12 of 15 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-13 win over the New England Patriots. This performance solidified his position in a quarterback room that includes Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. The decision places rookie Taylen Green at risk of being cut or moved to the practice squad. Cleveland reportedly wants to retain Green, who displayed athletic ability and rushing capability against New England, but the team faces difficulty finding an available roster spot. If the Browns expose the sixth-round pick to waivers, other teams could claim him before Cleveland can attempt to re-sign him.
