Yahoo Sports NFL on Taylen Green

Green elevated to No. 3 QB with Gabriel's IR placement, rookie status to monitor.

Rookie sixth-round quarterback Taylen Green from Arkansas will open the 2026 season as Cleveland's No. 3 quarterback with a 'designated for return' tag on Dillon Gabriel creating the opportunity; Green will likely be inactive on game days but carries the emergency No. 3 designation; played sparingly in preseason completing 5 of 7 passes for 27 yards and 66 rushing yards on eight carries, demonstrating strong arm and elite mobility; his status will be worth monitoring when Gabriel becomes eligible to return.
