Report: Baker Mayfield Will Play for Browns vs. Steelers Despite Shoulder Injury

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is reportedly expected to start Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers after receiving medical clearance, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Rapoport reported on Oct. 7 that the 26-year-old suffered a partially torn left labrum in Cleveland's 31-21 Week 2 victory over the Houston Texans.

Mayfield continued playing through the shoulder injury for four more games. But he was unable to go for the Browns in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos, which saw Case Keenum help them to a 17-14 win.

Rapoport now reports Mayfield has "full range of motion in his shoulder" and improved strength.
