Browns Practice Features Duplicate No. 8 Jerseys for Jared Verse and Dillon Gabriel

During the Browns’ offseason workouts, both Jared Verse and Dillon Gabriel took the field wearing the No. 8 jersey.

NFL regulations allow duplicate numbers in training camp and OTAs when rosters are capped at 90 players. The rule will change once the final roster cuts are made in late August.

Team officials coordinated the jersey assignment to avoid any on‑field confusion. This temporary duplication gives both young players a chance to showcase their abilities without impacting team chemistry.
