Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski stated that the bye week will serve as an opportunity to reevaluate the team after their recent 32-13 defeat against the Patriots. Despite the loss, Gabriel will continue to lead the team as quarterback when they face the Jets in Week 10.

“With a young quarterback, it’s essential to anticipate fluctuations in performance,” stated Stefanski.
“Let me say that with a young quarterback, you understand that there’s gonna be ups and downs,” said Kevin Stefanski.
Gabriel’s performance has included two touchdown passes and two interceptions, and he ranks lowest in the league with just 4.9 yards per attempt, following Joe Flacco who was traded to the Bengals.
Myles Garrett, a leading figure on the team, expressed frustration during the game following a personal record of five sacks, highlighting the pressures faced by the team this season. “What a day for Myles Garrett,” read a tweet by FOX Sports: NFL.
This decision confirms that Shedeur Sanders will remain the backup quarterback of the Browns. Despite being elevated to the second string after the Flacco trade, Sanders has yet to see action in a regular-season game due to a back injury.
