Browns HC Kevin Stefanski said Monday that QB Dillon Gabriel has cleared the concussion protocol but that Shedeur Sanders will maintain the No. 1 QB role for next Sunday's home date with the 49ers. Sanders threw for 209 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Raiders, becoming the first Cleveland QB to win his starting debut since Eric Zeier in 1995.

The Browns have agreed to a one-year deal with WR Diontae Johnson, according to multiple reports. Since the end of the 2023 season, Johnson has seen the Steelers trade him to Carolina, the Panthers trade him to the Ravens for minimal return, Baltimore waive him, Houston claim him only to release him shortly thereafter ... and then no team sign him until after the draft. Johnson averaged career lows 2.8 receptions and 31.3 yards per game across last year's three stops. He'll turn 29 in July.

The Browns are trading QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a fifth-round pick to the Eagles for QB Kenny Pickett, according to multiple reports. That makes Pickett and Deshaun Watson the only rostered QBs for Cleveland. The Eagles, meanwhile, appear ready to let Tanner McKee back up Jalen Hurts.

The Browns held QB Deshaun Watson out for nearly all of team drills Wednesday because of what HC Kevin Stefanski called "general arm soreness."
