BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns activated quarterback Dillon Gabriel off injured reserve Monday, giving the team four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.

Gabriel, a 2025 third-round pick, was placed on IR with a back injury at the roster cutdown deadline in late August. He was designated to return to practice Oct. 6 and will now join Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and rookie Taylen Green on the active roster.

Gabriel, who played in 10 career games with six starts as a rookie, has completed 110 of 185 passes for 937 yards with seven touchdowns.

Watson, who won the quarterback competition in training camp, has started the first seven games for the AFC North-leading Browns (5-2), while Sanders has served as the backup. Green, a sixth-round pick, has been the emergency QB on game days.

I'm curious as to who gets released to make room.... or has someone gone to IR?

We released out 7th round TE

Everyone is asking questions like, are the Browns going to keep 4 QBs.. Who might get traded, who might get cut. What I want to know is, who will be active on Sunday against Pittsburgh because only one can be the emergency QB.. It might give the Browns an opportunity to actually have Green active on Sunday to throw an extra wrench into the game plan that no one has seen yet this year. Obviously both Green and Gabriel an be inactive with one being designated as emergency.. but if they have been working on any set of plays to take advantage of Green's athleticism... wouldn't this be the perfect time to unveil it?

Good point Irish. I'm not sure if he's "ready" for a big spot like Pittsburgh, but it certainly would be a nice wrinkle to throw him out there for a few plays
