Injury & Status History
A running log of this player's status changes — each entry links to the original source.
Dillon Gabriel — Active
Cleveland needed to make a decision on the quarterback after opening his 21-day practice window 20 days ago, so he'll now join the 53-man roster as one of the team's four quarterbacks. The Browns figure to make a move at the position in the near future, and perhaps they'll try to gauge trade interest in Gabriel.
Dillon Gabriel — Active
Dillon Gabriel listed Active.
Dillon Gabriel — Injured Reserve
The Browns opened Gabriel's 21-day return window on Oct. 6. If the second-year quarterback is not activated by Tuesday's deadline, he will be forced to spend the remainder of the 2026 season on IR. The Browns have been struggling to make decisions at quarterback, so it remains unclear if the team will activate him, keep him stashed on IR, or waive him once a judgment call is forced.
Dillon Gabriel — Injured Reserve
Gabriel logged full participation in every practice session during the Browns' Week 5 prep. The quarterback remains on injured reserve due to a back injury, and it appears the team will milk the 21-day practice window until it expires. By keeping the backup quarterback on IR, the Browns temporarily save a roster spot for another player.
Dillon Gabriel — Injured Reserve
Per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, coach Todd Monken did not say Wednesday that there was any imminent activation planned for Gabriel, so it seems like the Browns may use most of the 21-day practice window they opened Tuesday to ultimately determine whether he'll be activated. Cleveland already has three healthy quarterbacks on its active 53-man roster, and Gabriel projects to land behind starter Deshaun Watson and 2025 fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders on the depth chart if he is eventually activated.
Dillon Gabriel — Injured Reserve
After Gabriel sustained a back injury in the final preseason game, the Browns used one of their eight IR return designations on the QB. Now that he's missed the requisite four games, Gabriel is eligible to be activated at any point, but the team will likely wait until closer to the end of the 21-day window to reinstate him. Once he's added back to the 53-man roster, Gabriel will slot in third on the depth chart behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders.
