Cleveland Browns Prioritize Dillon Gabriel Over Shedeur Sanders in First-Team Practices
Following the trade of Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, a rookie quarterback, has become the starting QB for the Cleveland Browns and is receiving the majority of first-team practice reps to help his development. Head coach Kevin Stefanski explained that Shedeur Sanders, also a rookie who recently moved up the depth chart, is not getting first-team practice reps because the team wants to focus on giving Gabriel as many reps as possible given his starting role and relative inexperience. Although Sanders is not practicing with the starters, Stefanski emphasized that he is still getting plenty of reps in other practice periods to continue his development. Gabriel has shown cautious but steady progress in his three starts, completing around 60 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and no interceptions, while the Browns have adopted a conservative offensive strategy to minimize mistakes. Sanders, drafted later than Gabriel in the 2025 NFL draft, remains a backup waiting for his opportunity but is receiving developmental reps to prepare for future roles. The Browns appear committed to patience with their young quarterbacks as they navigate the season.
