Mayfield was listed on this week’s injury report with shoulder, foot and knee injuries. After missing practice on Wednesday, the fourth-year quarterback said this was “the most beat up he’s ever been” in his career.
Mayfield re-aggravated a nagging non-throwing shoulder injury in Week 6, resulting in a torn labrum and a shoulder fracture that he’s been playing through for the past few weeks. He was also dealing with a foot injury heading into Week 10’s blowout loss to the New England Patriots.
During this 45-7 defeat, Mayfield suffered what was later called a knee contusion. After being helped off the field, the Browns QB would not return to the contest. X-Rays after the game showed no structural damage.
After notching a DNP on Wednesday, Mayfield has been limited in practice the rest of the week.
With their starting QB at the helm, the 5-5 Browns will look to get back on track against the winless Lions on Sunday.
