Overview

  • Dillon Gabriel will start against the Ravens in Week 11 after Kevin Stefanski reaffirmed the plan following Cleveland’s 27-20 loss to the Jets.
  • Gabriel is 1-4 as a starter with a league-low 5.0 yards per attempt, and the Browns’ offense has hovered around 18 points per game during his run.
  • Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees defended Gabriel’s decision-making and said he “grades out where we want him,” while acknowledging a fourth-and-1 pass call against the Jets was a mistake.
  • Shedeur Sanders remains the No. 2 quarterback with no regular-season snaps; Stefanski praised his progress but said his practice workload has not changed and he is not taking first-team reps.
  • The Ravens said they have prepared for the possibility Sanders could play, and Cleveland’s promotion of WR/returner Kaden Davis fueled fan speculation even as mock drafts project the Browns could pursue a 2026 quarterback.
