Dillon Gabriel: Browns activate quarterback from injured reserve

THE FACT. Cleveland activated quarterback Dillon Gabriel from injured reserve on Monday and waived tight end Carsen Ryan to clear the roster spot, according to the team's official site, with NFL.com confirming both moves. Gabriel went on IR on Aug. 30 with a back injury and had returned to practice by Oct. 6.

THE VERDICT. Redraft: no action. The team announcement named no starter and gave no depth-chart order, so treat Gabriel as a roster body until a coach says otherwise. He has six starts in 10 career games. Dynasty: a mild positive that he is healthy and back on the active roster, nothing more. Carsen Ryan was not a factor in any format.
