Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Baker Mayfield was limited in practice earlier this week because of the injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder that includes a torn labrum and also a fractured bone at the top of the humerus. The injury kept him sidelined for the 17-14 win over the Denver Broncos on Oct. 21.
Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt teased on Thursday that Mayfield could get the start for the 4-3 Browns against the 3-3 Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, and head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed on Friday afternoon Mayfield is his starting QB heading into the weekend.
