CLEVELAND -- Browns coach Todd Monken on Thursday night sidestepped a question about keeping four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster after Dillon Gabriel threw three first-half touchdowns in a 37-13 preseason-closing win over the New England Patriots.
Cleveland opted to sit Week 1 starter Deshaun Watson and his backup, Shedeur Sanders, against the Patriots. Gabriel, the 2025 third-round pick who was selected two rounds before Sanders, started the game and completed 12 of 15 passes for 186 yards with his three TDs in the first half.
Monken lauded Gabriel's preparation throughout training camp, even though the QB received few practice reps behind Watson and Sanders.
