Nonetheless, Gabriel seemed to find his rhythm as the game went on. By halftime, he had completed 13 of 18 passes for 143 yards. The Eagles led 13-12 at the interval.

Gabriel was given the start against the Eagles after Shedeur Sanders started in the Browns' 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in their preseason opener.

The Browns took Gabriel in the third round of this year's draft, with the No. 94 pick

Gabriel was the first QB the Browns selected, before taking Shedeur Sanders with the No. 144 pick.

As things stand, the Browns have not named their QB1 for the 2025 season. However, both Gabriel and Sanders will look to give themselves the best opportunity to start in the regular season.

The Browns are likely to use either Kenny Pickett or Joe Flacco as their starting QB for the upcoming season. However, Gabriel and Sanders will fight for the backup roles.
