Jared Verse practiced in No. 8 with the Browns on June 4, 2026. This number was officially assigned to quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who had started six games the previous season.

This incident raises questions about future jersey assignments within the team, particularly given Gabriel's uncertain status heading into the regular season. A resolution about who retains No. 8 is expected soon due to growing fan interest in Verse's jersey.
