The Cleveland Browns enter their second preseason game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday afternoon, and their plan at quarterback is becoming clearer.
Quarterbacks Kenny Pickett and Shedeur Sanders are expected to be sidelined with injuries this weekend, paving the way for Dillon Gabriel to make his first career NFL start. The issue is, however, that Gabriel has not yet been a full participant in practice either, since tweaking his hamstring.
However, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero has stated that, barring a setback in his pre-game warmup, Gabriel will be good to go against the Eagles and will make the start. Here is what Pelissero had to say:
“They are hoping that Dillon Gabriel is going to wake up feeling good tomorrow that he can go out and start and make his debut after his own hamstring injury. If not, if all else fails, then it’s going to be a whole lot of Tyler “Snoop” Huntley against the Philadelphia Eagles.”
So you heard it there first. The plan is for Gabriel to start, and the fallback is that Tyler Huntley will play the whole game for the Browns under center.
