Todd Monken: I look forward to seeing Dillon Gabriel back out there

Dillon Gabriel has returned to practice for the Browns after being placed on injured reserve with a back issue in late August.

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken expressed optimism about Dillon Gabriel's return to practice following his back injury, which placed him on injured reserve in late August. Monken stated that the team now has three weeks to assess Gabriel's status before potentially bringing him back onto the 53-man roster. Monken emphasized that the process will involve observing Gabriel's condition during practice and providing him with the necessary reps.

He mentioned that various players, including Gabriel, could be part of the "look squad" or receive individualized attention during rehab. Currently, the Browns have starter Deshaun Watson, backup Shedeur Sanders, and rookie Taylen Green on their active roster. Monken indicated that he does not need to concern himself with carrying four quarterbacks at this stage, given the three-week timeline before a decision is made.

Gabriel, who started six games as a rookie last year with 10 total appearances, completed 59.5% of his passes for 937 yards, tallying seven touchdowns and two interceptions.
