Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel is not expected to overtake Shedeur Sanders for the backup role once activated to the 53-man roster, according to Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com. Gabriel is nearing a return from a back injury before his 21-day practice window closes. However, the organization remains pleased with Sanders' development behind starter Deshaun Watson.
