Overview
- Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Tommy Rees will call plays starting Sunday at the New York Jets as Cleveland returns from its bye.
- Cleveland ranks near the bottom of the league offensively, averaging 263.5 yards and 15.8 points per game, with bottom-tier rushing and passing outputs.
- Stefanski confirmed rookie Dillon Gabriel remains the starting quarterback, while fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders did not practice as he continues to deal with back tightness.
- This is the second straight season Stefanski has ceded play-calling, having handed duties to Ken Dorsey last year before the Browns finished 3-14 and dismissed Dorsey.
- Joe Flacco started the first four games before being benched and traded to the Bengals, and Gabriel’s subsequent numbers have remained subpar.
