Cleveland Browns Set Initial 53-Man Roster
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said Cleveland could keep three quarterbacks as the Browns finalize roster cuts and weigh whether to retain Dillon Gabriel.
- On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns finalized their initial 53-man roster, placing quarterback Dillon Gabriel on the reserve/injured list with a back injury and designating him for return.
- Before his injury confirmation, Gabriel turned in an efficient preseason performance against New England, completing 12 of 15 passes for 186 yards and 3 touchdowns, fueling trade speculation.
- To reach the 53-man limit, the organization executed 21 moves on Sunday, including placing tight end Joe Royer on the reserve/non-football illness list with a designation to return.
- With Gabriel sidelined, the quarterback room now features starter Deshaun Watson, backup Shedeur Sanders, and rookie Taylen Green as three active signal-callers heading into the regular season.
- Following a summer of intense competition, the 2026 squad prepares for its regular-season opener on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in two weeks.
