Dillon Gabriel made his case to stay in the Browns\u2019 quarterback room on Thursday.<\/p>\n

During the Browns\u2019 37-13 preseason win over the Patriots, Gabriel, who is still fighting for a backup spot, went off for Cleveland, finishing the first half with 186 passing yards \u2014 going 12-for-15 on his throws \u2014 and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Gabriel, who started six games for the Browns last season after they selected him in the third round of the 2025 draft, could see himself out of Cleveland\u2019s quarterback room altogether after Deshaun Watson was named QB1 to start 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a great half, happy for him,\u201d first-year Browns head coach Todd Monken told Amazin\u2019s Prime Video at halftime. \u201cGuys played well around him. <\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly took advantage of his opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders appears primed to be the Browns\u2019 backup, with many Cleveland fans upset that he lost out on the starting job to Watson.<\/p>\n

Headed into training camp in June, Monken\u2019s comments on the team\u2019s quarterback situation appeared to leave out Gabriel altogether.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think both quarterbacks have played well enough where we haven\u2019t really been in pads. We haven\u2019t played any games yet.\u201d Monken said then. \u201cHaven\u2019t really got to that point yet. Every day I kind of lean one way or the other with quarterbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just tell you, we got two starting level quarterbacks. We really do.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Browns insider Tony Grossi, quarterback Taylen Green, who came in for Gabriel to start the third quarter on Thursday, could have a better shot to make the roster.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI think Taylen Green\u2019s roster spot is more secure than Gabriel\u2019s is. Because of what he might mean in the future. Gabriel has not looked great this whole summer,\u201d Grossi said on ESPN Cleveland before the game.<\/p>\n

Gabriel, 25, had an up-and-down rookie season with the Browns, throwing for 937 yards with seven touchdowns and two interceptions in 10 games.<\/p>\n

In Gabriel\u2019s six starts, the Browns had a 1-5 record before he was benched for Sanders after Cleveland\u2019s 23-16 Week 11 loss to the Ravens.<\/p>\n
