Browns QB Dillon Gabriel Remains in Concussion Protocol; Week 12 Status Uncertain

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel is currently in the NFL's concussion protocol, with head coach Kevin Stefanski scheduled to provide an update on the team's quarterback situation this Wednesday. Gabriel sustained the concussion during the Browns' recent loss to the Steelers, where he completed seven of 10 passes for 68 yards before rookie Shedeur Sanders took over. With an estimated return date of November 23, 2025, if Gabriel does not show significant recovery progress by Wednesday, the Browns may prepare for Sanders to start against the Raiders in Week 12. Gabriel, who signed a four-year, $6.23 million contract in June 2025, has 937 passing yards, 7 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and 86 rushing yards this season.
