**Cleveland Browns Release Quarterback Tyler Huntley After Preseason Finale**
The Cleveland Browns made a significant roster move on Sunday, parting ways with quarterback Tyler Huntley following their final preseason game of 2025 against the Los Angeles Rams. This decision reduces the team’s quarterback lineup to four players: Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders. It is anticipated that this may be the only roster adjustment before the regular season kicks off.
Reports indicate that the Browns plan to retain their four remaining quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Notably, Deshaun Watson is currently on injured reserve due to a torn Achilles tendon.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance in the preseason, stating, “I thought it was a good finish to that preseason as a football team, just to make sure that these guys gave that type of effort. So really pleased.” He acknowledged the challenges of roster cuts, emphasizing the need to navigate the process over the next 48 hours. The team will have four days of practice leading up to their Labor Day break before preparing for their Week 1 matchup against Cincinnati.
Huntley joined the Browns after Pickett sustained an injury. In the preseason finale against the Rams, he completed 10 of 13 passes for 71 yards. Flacco has already been named the starting quarterback for the upcoming season, with Pickett expected to serve as his backup, as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
Cleveland added Flacco to their roster during the offseason and acquired Pickett from the Eagles. The team also drafted Gabriel and Sanders, both of whom appear to be secure in their positions despite Sanders’ struggles in the final preseason game, where he was sacked five times, while Gabriel managed to throw a touchdown pass.
As the Browns finalize their roster, fans are eager to see how the team will perform in the upcoming season.
