Overview
- Cleveland is 1-5, Gabriel is expected to start again Sunday against Miami, and Joe Flacco has been traded to the Bengals.
- Gabriel is 0-2 as a starter with modest early production, including a Week 6 loss to the Steelers.
- Shedeur Sanders remains QB2, with Ian Rapoport reporting he will play only when fully prepared with a full practice week and a tailored plan.
- The Athletic’s Akron Jackson suggested Sanders is unlikely to start before December.
- ESPN’s Jordan Reid projected the Browns to take Oregon quarterback Dante Moore at No. 3 in 2026, and Heavy noted Cleveland also holds Jacksonville’s first-round pick that could help facilitate a move up.
