Gabriel was outstanding for much of practice, consistently playing with anticipation and confidence while operating the offense efficiently.
He worked through his progressions well, delivered an excellent touchdown pass to Cedric Tillman, and repeatedly showcased impressive timing on comeback routes by getting the ball out before his receivers came out of their breaks. There were a few mistakes mixed in, though. Gabriel missed Aaron Anderson on a slant, forced a bootleg throw intended for Malachi Corley that resulted in an unnecessary interception by Reid Carrico, and needs to do a better job avoiding the temptation to press when the defense wins the rep.

While the Browns brought in one quarterback on tryout in Bryson Barnes, sixth-round pick Taylen Green led the way under center. Green kicked off the reps in both 11-on-11 periods and the 7-on-7 period. "I think he's carried over the Zoom meetings to this morning's meetings and then walk[through]," Monken said. "He operated the offense pretty well, I mean, for someone who hadn't been a part of it. Eyes weren't always in the right spot, but you can see a couple of times some of the things he can do with his feet when plays break down. So that's exciting to see." During the first 11-on-11 period, Green connected with WR KC Concepcion on a deep pass downfield. He also found RB Ahmani Marshall for two passes, and a third to TE Joe Royer. Barnes also took reps during the 11-on-11 period, in which he connected with tryout invitee TE Jyrin Johnson down the sideline, and handed the ball off twice to undrafted free agent signing RB Davon Booth. In the next 7-on-7 period, Green completed multiple passes to WR Denzel Boston, TE Caden Prieskorn, WR Jalen Reagor, WR Luke Floriea and Royer. Then in the final 11-on-11 period of practice, Green showcased his own speed as he held onto the ball and took off down the sideline as the play broke down on one of his reps. He also had a shuffle pass to Marshall and connected with tryout player WR Aaron Anderson on another rep. Barnes closed out the reps for the day by completing a short pass to Booth, a shuffle pass to Marshall and two more throws to tryout player WR Daejon Reynolds and Booth.
