What happened: Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel officially switched his jersey number from No. 8 to No. 6 as mandatory minicamp began Tuesday. The change allows newly acquired defensive end Jared Verse to take over the No. 8 jersey he has worn throughout his professional career.

Why it matters: The number swap resolves a potential conflict for the newcomer nicknamed "V8" and confirms Gabriel's presence at camp amid offseason roster speculation. Gabriel, entering his second NFL season, remains a primary depth option behind Deshaun Watson as the team integrates new draft talent.

What to watch: The Browns will continue mandatory minicamp sessions through Thursday in Cleveland.
