WATFORD, United Kingdom — It's going to be Dillon Gabriel's big day Oct. 5 when he makes his NFL regular-season starting debut for the Browns . It's the kind of moment every kid dreams about, and the kind every parent will drop everything in order to see in person.

There's just one slightly minor hitch to that for Gabriel's parents. The game's in London, which creates a set of circumstances no one quite foresaw.

“They won’t be," Gabriel said Oct. 3 at The Grove, where the Browns are practicing while in the United Kingdom. "So, fun fact, need to get my dad a passport. So, we’re learning about that. Second, just a little later in the week. So, you know, mom and dad are from Hawaii. You can imagine that flight is even further than what we just did.” Buy Cleveland Browns tickets
