Overview
- The 1-5 Browns will start Dillon Gabriel for a third straight game against the Dolphins after a brutal Week 6 in Pittsburgh in which he took 16 hits and six sacks but did not turn the ball over.
- Team insiders say Sanders is unlikely to start soon, with Mary Kay Cabot warning he could struggle behind the current offense and The Athletic’s Zac Jackson indicating a potential look not before December.
- Speculation ties Sanders to the Jets as a possible trade target before the November 4 deadline, framed as an analyst proposal rather than an active negotiation.
- An early ESPN mock by Jordan Reid projects Cleveland selecting Oregon quarterback Dante Moore at No. 3 in 2026, with the Browns’ additional first-rounder from Jacksonville noted as capital that could help them move up.
- Voices around the team remain split, with Donovan McNabb saying he feels bad for Gabriel amid calls for Sanders, tight end David Njoku calling Sanders “exceptional,” and Jerry Jeudy downplaying adjustment concerns at wide receiver.
