The Browns improved to 2-0 in the preseason on Saturday following a 22-13 win in Philadelphia. As will be the case with most Cleveland games in 2025, the quarterback was the main talking point. Third-round pick Dillon Gabriel made his first professional start and showed why this regime believes he can operate this offense the way it's intended.
However, there's much more to the preseason games than solely observing quarterback play. Most starters were held out of this one, including most draft picks, other than Cedric Tillman and Dawand Jones. This led to the rotational players getting the front stage to show who the immediate depth should be behind the starting unit.
