Browns activate Dillon Gabriel from injured reserve

The Browns are up to four quarterbacks on their active roster. They announced on Monday that they have activated Dillon Gabriel from the injured reserve list. Gabriel went on the list with a back injury ahead of Week 1 and was at the end of the 21-day practice window that opened when he was designated for return. Gabriel joins Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and rookie Taylen Green on the 53-man roster in Cleveland. Head coach Todd Monken indicated this summer that he was comfortable with that arrangement and did so again at a Monday press conference ahead of the roster move. Tight end Carsen Ryan was waived in a corresponding move. He appeared in six games and saw almost all of his playing time on special teams

Deion Sanders says Colorado is better than the score shows after another loss

Colorado lost its second consecutive game today, and afterward head coach Deion Sanders said he’s struggling to figure out why his team’s results aren’t what they should be. “We’re better than this. It seems as though we’re better than our opponents, but the score does not dictate that. And that’s the fascinating thing, we’ve got to find out why,” Sanders said. With Colorado struggling at halftime, Sanders benched starting quarterback Julian Lewis and replaced him with Isaac Wilson. Lewis was a highly touted recruit out of high school last year but so far hasn’t lived up to expectations at Colorado. Wilson, who transferred to Colorado this year after two years at Utah, is the brother of Saints quarterback Zach Wilson. Lewis was 11-for-16 for 75 yards when he was benched. Wilson played slightly better, completing 12 of 25 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. Sanders has still never found a quarterback as good as his son, Shedeur, who started for Deion for two years at Jackson State and then two more years at Colorado. Overall, Deion’s college coaching record is 36-14 with Shedeur as his quarterback and 9-15 without his son. This year, Colorado is 2-2, and the schedule only gets tougher, with No. 11 Texas Tech and No. 15 Utah the next two opponents on the schedule. Sanders has an uphill battle ahead of him to get his team turned around

Giants have various possible options at quarterback (but not many good ones)

With Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart reportedly heading for season-ending knee surgery, the Giants have to make a decision about the quarterback position moving forward. Option A: The Jameis Winston experience, and everything that goes along with it — good, bad, and/or highly entertaining. Option B: Sign a free agent and see if he would be a better option to win games. At this point, however, most guys who are available would be unlikely to be able to start. Jimmy Garoppolo is the best option. Option C: Make a trade. There are some options. Here are some of the ones we noticed after perusing the various rosters and depth charts. Derek Carr: He’s still on the Saints reserve-retired list. A trade would be required, if there’s mutual interest. Anthony Richardson: If the Colts would be comfortable with Riley Leonard as the understudy to Daniel Jones, the Colts could finally get value for the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft. Joe Flacco: John Harbaugh won a Super Bowl with Flacco in Baltimore. And Flacco has repeatedly shown he can still play. Shedeur Sanders: If the Browns are willing to move on from Sanders, Harbaugh possibly would want Shedeur. The Ravens were going to draft him in 2025, but he didn’t want to back up Lamar Jackson. Mason Rudolph: He has played a lot, and he may not have much of a future in Pittsburgh. Sam Howell: He’s the backup to Dak Prescott, and he has plenty of starting experience; the Cowboys could elevate Joe Milton III to take Prescott’s place. J.J. McCarthy: Jim Harbaugh loves him. John Harbaugh could be intrigued by him. Gardner Minshew: If the Cardinals are content to have Carson Beck as the backup to Jacoby Brissett, why not? He has 47 career starts. Mac Jones: He’s in the last year of his contract, and he played well last year in place of Brock Purdy. The Giants also could pilfer a player from a practice squad. Possibilities (not many) include Will Levis (Jets), Josh Johnson (Bengals), Joe Milton III (Cowboys), and Max Brosmer (Vikings)

Deshaun Watson Makes More Sense in Superflex Leagues

Deshaun Watson showed improvement in Week 2, passing for 238 yards and two touchdowns, and adding 22 rushing yards. He has accumulated 443 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception through two games, with an additional 60 rushing yards. Watson remains the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and is recommended in Superflex and 2QB leagues as a potential Week 3 fill-in, though not a priority in one-quarterback leagues

Deshaun Watson, Browns quiet critics after win over Buccaneers: 'Monken said what he said'

It was personal for the Cleveland Browns following Sunday's win in Tampa , a potential momentum-booster for first-year coach Todd Monken and his franchise quarterback, Deshaun Watson . Monken's expletive-enforced postgame response to a take from Mike Tomlin was triggering for a franchise that has faced criticism nationally as one of the NFL's also-rans not expected to do much this season. "I wouldn't say it was a topic of conversation, but Monk said what he said and that's how we all feel," said Watson, who threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with 3:51 to play. After Monken refused to name a starting quarterback entering the season, Watson's numbers were pedestrian during last week's opening loss to Jacksonville and led to the former first-round pick saying outsiders have put unfair pressure on Cleveland's offense. "I think the media has this expectation that I'm supposed to throw [for] 400 yards and five touchdowns every week. So, until that happens, I guess it's going to be the same situation," Watson said prior to Sunday's bounce-back victory. "Again, my job is to make sure I'm operating well so we can try to get a win and keep moving forward from there. Finding completions, operating well." Watson carried out the game plan to near perfection against the Buccaneers , completing 80% of his throws and keeping the Browns on schedule while out-performing 2025 MVP candidate and former Brown Baker Mayfield . "The attitude was amazing, it was good, you felt the energy," Watson said. "Guys want to win. Guys are passionate. It's going to be like that, especially when you have brothers in the locker room that are all together. Even me and Monk went head to head a couple times, but it's all good, it's all love." ESPN reported prior to kickoff Sunday that the franchise was still evaluating who will start at quarterback in Week 3 against the Panthers . It's hard to fathom Monken moving to Shedeur Sanders after Watson's turnover-free outing on the road, however. Monken defended Watson throughout fall camp and said after the season-opening loss he never anticipated his team's quarterback situation being a week-to-week issue. Following Watson's best performance — 121.9 passer rating — since Sept. 24, 2023, he has made it easy on his coach in prep for Cleveland's next opponent. "I'm so happy for him," Monken said of Watson. "Good for him. Good for 22 months working his (tail) off to get to where he's at. I'm gonna leave it at that." Monken didn't officially name Watson as Cleveland's home opener against Carolina next week, but it's obvious which signal caller gives the Browns the best shot moving forward after Sunday's victory. Monken's relationship with Watson was always going to be tested early in Cleveland. He inherited a quarterback room carrying expectations, then doubled down on Watson after an ugly opener. This partnership remains a week-to-week evaluation, but Cleveland finally saw a glimpse of what Monken envisioned: Watson playing decisively and extending drives, which is exactly what the Browns' starting quarterback acknowledged as his primary job after Week 1. "Our relationship continues to grow every day," Watson said. "The more we talk, the more we're around each other, the more we go through certain situations ... we're going to build that. That's part of this game and this league. You're going to have some ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we've got love and respect for each other."
