Exciting news for Browns fans! Quarterback Dillon Gabriel is gearing up for action as he prepares for a pivotal 11-on-11 session during Wednesday's joint practice with the Eagles. If all goes according to plan—and assuming his hamstring is up for the challenge—Gabriel could take the field as a starter this Saturday in Philadelphia.

Gabriel has been nursing a hamstring injury, and head coach Kevin Stefanski emphasized the need to assess his condition before making any final decisions. "We're focused on getting through today and tomorrow first," Stefanski noted in his press conference. Despite the uncertainty, the plan has always been to see the promising third-round pick in action before the summer wraps up.

Stefanski added, "We intended to give both our quarterbacks a shot to start during preseason, so we'll see how things unfold." This comes as fellow quarterback Kenny Pickett is also sidelined with a hamstring issue, making his participation this weekend increasingly unlikely.

Should Gabriel not receive the green light, it looks like fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders will step into the starter role for the second consecutive week. Meanwhile, veteran Joe Flacco, though currently atop the depth chart in Cleveland, hasn't been explicitly named as a potential starter but is expected to log significant first-team reps during joint practices.

Stay tuned as the drama unfolds and we'll see if Gabriel can shake off the injury in time to thrill fans this Saturday!
