The Cleveland Browns completed their 10-week offseason workout program in Berea, Ohio, under first-year head coach Todd Monken. The team finished the 2025 NFL season with five wins and will open its 2026 regular season on September 13 at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders split first-team quarterback reps during spring practices.
Monken stated the Browns will have a starting quarterback by Week 1 of the 2026 season. Watson missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing a pair of Achilles procedures. Coaches praised Sanders for his growth during the offseason workouts.
The Browns traded quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Las Vegas Raiders after the 2025 season. General manager Andrew Berry previously said he would be comfortable keeping four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Dillon Gabriel, a 2025 third-round draft pick, sits behind Watson and Sanders on the depth chart.
Rookie Taylen Green remained a spectator during spring practices and is viewed as a developmental prospect. Rookies report to training camp on July 23 and veterans on July 28.
