Baker Mayfield Intends To Play Through Torn Labrum: ‘I Get To Say Whether I’m Able To Play Or Not’

After losing in the season opener, then going on a three-game winning streak, the Cleveland Browns have now dropped two in a row to fall to 3-3 on the season. And their quarterback, Baker Mayfield, is dealing with an injury that isn’t going to get much better anytime this season.

Mayfield confirmed that he suffered a “completely torn” labrum in his right shoulder during the season opener when he attempted to make a tackle after throwing an interception; he mentioned “other stuff that was frayed within it” as well.

The fourth-year quarterback re-aggravated the labrum injury during Sunday’s loss to the undefeated Arizona Cardinals, but there are no plans for him to sit; in fact, the Browns play tomorrow night, and Mayfield has every intention of being out there.
