Dillon Gabriel’s second year with the Cleveland Browns got a little personal over the weekend, thanks to a visit from his wife, Zo, at training camp.
Zo Gabriel shared a video Sunday in a now-expired Instagram Story and kept the look easy and low-key for the occasion. She wore a brown cropped tank top with white shorts and sneakers while the quarterback stood beside her in his orange Browns practice jersey. The two posed in the end zone, and Zo marked the moment with a simple caption: "Year 2 (hand heart emoji)."
Gabriel reported to training last week as he begins his second NFL season. The Browns drafted him in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and his rookie year included six starts and a 1-5 record. A concussion opened the door for Shedeur Sanders, who started the rest of Cleveland’s games in 2025.
Now Gabriel is back in a crowded quarterback room, competing for the starting job with Sanders, Deshaun Watson and rookie Taylen Green.
Zo has also been looking back on another major milestone for the couple. On June 22, Dillon and Zo Gabriel were married in Hawaii, their home state. Roughly a month later, she reflected on the ceremony, which took place at a church where she grew up attending services.
"6.22.26 - We had a special intimate wedding with our families. We stood before God, surrounded by the people who have loved us from the beginning, in the small church in Mililani where I grew up.
It was a full circle moment that we will cherish forever. A day rooted in family, faith and unconditional love.
❤️," Gabriel wrote.
The couple’s story goes back to middle school, when they first met as teenagers, before eventually beginning to date in high school.

Taylen Green Is Suddenly Testing The Browns' Crowded QB Pecking Order
Taylen Green has given the Browns something to think about in the first week of training camp, even with limited chances to work. The sixth-round quarterback has looked comfortable enough to stand out in a room already built around Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, and his physical tools have only added to the intrigue around his early work.
Greens path still looks uphill, but camp has a way of reshuffling a pecking order when the reps start piling up and the evaluation gets more serious. If the top of the depth chart remains unsettled, a player who keeps flashing in the background can force his way into a conversation the Browns did not necessarily expect to be having this soon.

Browns Fans Noticed One Practice Decision In The Watson Battle
Todd Monken keeps saying the two-minute drill matters in evaluating quarterbacks, so when practice ended early after Shedeur Sanders guided the first-team offense through a clean hurry-up sequence, it did not go unnoticed. The Browns had built that work into the session as another chance to separate the quarterbacks, but the drill became the kind of small practice detail fans latch onto when a competition is still very much alive.
Deshaun Watson and the second-team offense never got their turn in that same situation, which only added another layer to a battle that has been watched closely as the preseason nears. Watson answered with a strong practice the next day, keeping the race from moving in any clear direction, but the larger picture remains the same: every snap, every period and every decision around who gets work is being read as part of the evaluation.

Browns Camp Injuries Are Suddenly Raising The Stakes Up Front
Training camp has already turned into a test of depth for the Browns, and the issues up front are making it harder to sort out the roster. A thin group on both lines has left the team navigating a practice week where availability matters just as much as execution, with the offensive line drawing particular attention as the preseason opener creeps closer.
Elgton Jenkins and Parker Brailsford both missed Wednesdays practice, which gave Luke Wypler a chance to work with the starting offense. For a staff trying to get its scheme in place, the timing is less than ideal, and Todd Monken is set to finalize the offensive installation on Thursday before Cleveland faces the Chicago Bears in preseason play.
